The school year has begun and as new students arrive, it’s important to know about the services provided by IGNITE, Humber Polytechnic’s student union, and others by the school.
Health and Dental Insurance Plan
This includes dental care, prescription drug coverage, extended health and vision care, accident coverage and travel coverage.
To opt-out of it, students must do so by the fall semester deadline. If you miss the deadline, you are not able to opt out of any following semesters for the academic year.
Sleep Lounge
Bring physical ID or class schedule, no reservation required. You can find it on KX204 at the North campus and in KB106 at the Lakeshore campus.
IGNITE Tax Clinic
IGNITE will help students complete their tax returns. Students will sit down in-person with IGNITE’s trained volunteers. The IGNITE Tax Clinic opens on March 4 and runs until April 25. The clinic will be closed during exam week, April 15 to 19.
IGNITE Zen Zone
At the Lakeshore campus, IGNITE has a quiet little corner inside the basement of K Building called the Zen Zone. It is a place to recharge when school is too much.
IGNITE Soup Bar
Open Tuesday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the LinX Building.
TTC Photo ID Days
Post-secondary TTC photo ID allows students to purchase the Post-Secondary pass for $128 a month. It allows for unlimited trips on TTC.
To do this students need proof of full-time enrolment at Humber, have a school or government-issued ID and $7 cash.
Only full-time students are eligible.
Do this on Sept. 24, at the LRC Concourse from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the North campus.
Lakeshore students can have their TTC pass photos taken on Sept. 26 at L Building, Room L1017 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The TTC says anyone who misses those times can have their photo ID made at the Bathurst station Photo ID Office, open from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. To set the post-secondary fare type, go to a Shoppers Drug Mart or the TTC Customer Service Centre above the Davisville station.
Tutoring
Humber provides help in math and writing at the Math and Writing Centre on the third floor of LRC. Students can request one-on-one tutoring for specific courses, depending on staffing availability.
