FAQs

Please be advised that the standard requirement for all of our programs, courses, and micro-credential offerings available to Registered Nurses (RNs) and Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) is current registration with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) and entitlement to practice without restrictions. Any additional program-specific requirements will be clearly advertised. In the absence of any stated additional requirements, the above standard must be met and maintained prior to registration. Applicants who do not meet these standards are not eligible to enroll, and registration will not be permitted.

All classes (online and face-to- face) use a learning management system called Blackboard. The tools within Blackboard support student learning and engagement through the dissemination of course information and learning materials and by providing access to various communication tools. In addition to instructors sharing course material and resources, assessment submission and other evaluations may be administered in Blackboard. Use from course to course may vary and your instructor will clarify any expectations for use of the course site.

Students will have access to their blackboard site up to three (3) days before the start of their first class. To login, go to learn.humber.ca and enter your username and password. For more information on how to use Blackboard, please click here.
If you are experiencing technical difficulties when using Blackboard during course assessments, please email cplhealthsciences@humber.ca and write “Blackboard Assessment Issue” as your email title.

Please note: Final grades are NOT posted on Blackboard; they are only posted in the CPL portal

Standard courses are offered over a 14-week period.

Condensed courses are offered over a 7-week period and contain the same content and assessments as the same course that is 14-weeks long. These courses can be more demanding, and learners should expect to spend 10-15 hours per week on course material.

Condensed courses give a learner the opportunity to “fast track” and take two condensed courses at the same time it would take to complete one course.

^*We recommend that you allot an additional 6-9 hours per week for full term classes (14-week format) and 12-18 hours per week for condensed classes (7-week format) to successfully complete these courses.
