Learning online doesn’t mean you’re alone.
Online learning seems simple enough—that is until Blackboard decides to breakdown five minutes before class starts.

We’ve all been there.
Online learning has some massive pros — like saving time and money on commuting — but, it also comes with some challenges. Learning remotely can create a disconnect between you and the supports available ‘on-campus.’
That’s why we’ve created this guide to connect you with the online learning supports available at Humber and Guelph-Humber.
For technical support:

Can’t log into MyHumber? Can’t submit your assignment on Courselink? Here’s who to turn to:
- Open Learning Centre: connects Humber students to online learning IT support and provides in-depth tutorials for common issues for students.
- CourseLink support: contact for CourseLink technical support.
- Academic and Campus Technology services: from Gryph Mail to software support, chat online, call, or email to get IT assistance for all Guelph-Humber students.
For wellness support:

Whether you need someone to confide in or medical advice, we’ve got you covered—both with support and health insurance.
