1 - Computerized College Placement Tests (CCPT):
New students that have not taken an admissions test or mature student test must
complete a Computerized College Placement Test (CCPT) before registering for their
first semester writing and mathematics courses.
Students enrolled in degree and postgraduate programs are not required to complete
CCPTs. Students that have previously completed CCPT testing as part of the preadmissions process for their program are not required to complete tests again.
Students will not have a complete timetable until CCPT testing is finished, as their
Writing and/or Math course(s) will be missing from their timetable.

Students who are required to complete CCPT testing but have not done so yet are
welcome to come to the North (B104) or Lakeshore (A235) Test Centres between May
5-8 and complete their CCPT test(s) between the hours of 9AM and 2PM. Students do
not need to call to book an appointment. Government-issued photo ID must be
presented at the Test Centre before being permitted to take the test(s).
Late Testing Fee Information
For domestic students, if CPT/EPT tests are not taken by April 17, a late testing fee of
$40 will be charged and applied to their account within 1-3 weeks. Domestic students
who were admitted to their program after April 3 or live over 2 hours away from campus
will not be charged a late fee. These students can bring their offer letter directly to the
Test Centre to take their tests.
For International students, if CCPT tests are not taken by April 17, and they arrived in
Canada before April 3, a late testing fee of $40 will be charged. Late arrivals to Canada
must bring their passport directly to the Test Centre to demonstrate their time of arrival
to have the late testing fee waived.
Please note that these tests will not be used to alter any admission decisions that have
already been made; rather, they are used to accurately register you in the appropriate
Writing and Math courses. Based on students’ test results, they may be required to
complete remedial writing and/or Math course that may result in additional course fees.
Depending on the specific program, students may need to take one or more of the
following CPT assessments:
Algebra Skills - Arithmetic Skills - Writing Sample
Additional information, including sample tests can be found here:
http://www.humber.ca/testcentre/placementtesting.

When will students receive their OSAP funding?
Students can expect to receive their OSAP funding the first 3 weeks of May if:
1 - All their documents have been successfully submitted to the Financial Aid office
2 - Student is enrolled in at least 60% of a full course load
(40% for students with disabilities)
3a - Student has paid their Summer 2015 tuition fees in full
OR
3b - Student has paid their $200 deposit to defer their Summer 2015 tuition fees to
OSAP
4 - Attended 60% of a full course load (40% for students with disabilities) in Fall 2014
and/or Winter 2015 for students returning in May 2015.
OSAP Deferral Information
In order to be eligible for a fee deferral, the Ministry must be authorized to pay students’
program fees on their behalf with their OSAP funding. This is called the redirection of
students’ OSAP funding. Additional information can be found on the OSAP application
under Financial Information.
After a student’s fees are paid, any remaining funding will be deposited into their bank
account. If students don’t request an OSAP fee deferral, they are required to pay their
fees in full by the fees due date.
If the student’s allocated OSAP funding does not fully cover their tuition fees, they are
responsible to pay the remaining balance when the student is making their OSAP
deferral payment.
Tuition Bursaries and Scholarships:
Students who were awarded a tuition bursary and have already paid their tuition in full
will have a cheque mailed to them after May 15, 2015.
To learn more about other available bursaries and scholarships, visit the Financial Aid
website: http://www.humber.ca/financial-aid.
