Policies & Procedures

Code of Student Conduct 

The University has defined the rights and responsibilities of students using Humber Polytechnic's Student Code of Conduct as reference. Students should also refer to Humber College's Gender Diversity Policy and Sexual Assault and Sexual Violence Policy and Procedure.

University communication 

Depending on the nature and timing of the communication, the University may use one of these addresses to communicate with students. Students are, therefore, responsible for checking all of the following on a regular basis:

1. Email Address
   The University-issued email address is considered an official means of communication with the student and will be used for correspondence from the University. Students are responsible for monitoring their Gryph email account regularly.
2. Home Address
   Students are responsible for maintaining a current mailing address with the University. Address changes can be made by completing the Change of Address on WebAdvisor.

Name changes 

The University of Guelph is committed to the integrity of its student records, therefore, each student is required to provide either on application for admission or on personal data forms required for registration, his/her complete, legal name. Any requests to change a name, by means of alteration, deletion, substitution or addition, must be accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation.

Student confidentiality and release of student information policy excerpt

The University undertakes to protect the privacy of each student and the confidentiality of his or her record. To this end the University shall refuse to disclose personal information to any person other than the individual to whom the information relates where disclosure would constitute an unjustified invasion of the personal privacy of that person or of any other individual. All members of the University community must respect the confidential nature of the student information which they acquire in the course of their work.

Third party degree verification

To verify the credentials of a University of Guelph-Humber graduate, third parties (e.g., prospective employers and educational institutions) can email advisors@guelphhumber.ca. 
The types of information that can be released to third parties are outlined in the Departmental Policy on the Release of Student Information.
