Hey everyone!
I was looking into my course selection for next semester and saw one called "Travel and History in Spain and Portugal". I'm not sure if this is a new course as its also taught online but I was wondering if anyone has done it or knows anything about it?
Specifically, the cost since it says there is a needed payment for the trip at the end of the year but doesn't specify how much, and anything else about the course, if its worth it and what not haha.
Thanks so much!
Is anyone taking marketing management in January?
Winter is on its way and as the first signs of snow appear, you may wonder how snow could affect classes this winter.
Online Classes and Test
In the event of inclement weather, online tests and classes will proceed as scheduled.
In-Person classes, appointment or tests:
For most days this winter, our campuses will remain open and any in-person classes and scheduled appointments will remain unaffected.
Where to look for updates:
Should winter weather impact the learning or working environment (such as power outages) or present a risk to our campus community, Fanshawe will update you through:
If you can't make it to class:
We understand that many of our students commute from different communities and know that snow accumulation can vary greatly. If you cannot get to campus for a scheduled class or appointment, please remember to contact your professor(s), service provider and/or supervisor.
Travel Safe:
Remember to travel only when it is safe and allow for extra time in your commute; take caution on the roads.
How long does it take to get a response after application for Nursing ? I applied for BSCN September 2025
Hi guys I’m thinking of applying to this program but the admission requirements are a bit unclear lol if anyone is in the program or knows anything abt it pls help me out!!!!
Well my course ends April2025. I don’t really wanna stay here anymore for the convocation after that. I was wondering if there any services available where my degree will be delivered to my home (India). Also is it okay to leave the country as soon as my course ends? Or should I stay?
i’m in my first year of Carpentry and Renovation, i did a year at conestoga and second semester we got to choose our schedule block, basically they gave options for weekly schedules and you got to choose which one you took. does fanshawe do the same thing? if so, when does that happen?
I couldn't find my schedule for semester 2 when I realized i missed the deposit deadline, I would call in and figure this out, but the office closes at 4:30. Does anyone know how fucked I am?
Hi guys, I'm looking at courses to apply to for next year and the one that caught my eye the most was the 3 year Game Design course. My main goal in terms of careers is to get into the digital arts and this course seems perfect for what I want to learn, but just one problem: I can't find ANY recent reviews of it. All I can find is one deleted thread from 5 years ago.
Is there anybody here that has/is taking it, and if so, how is the workload, how much time do you spend doing homework each day, and is there anything else that I should probably know or prepare myself for before applying? Thanks!!
Hi! I’m not the brightest student, I would say I’m usually a B student and I have to take pre health to get into MRT.
I want to know, what’s challenging about this program and how good do I need to do in the 1 year pre health to apply for MRT?
Keep in mind, I’m not an academic god and can be lazy at times, but I will definitely try to put in the work! I just want to know what obstacles most of you have faced! :)
UPDATE: These responses are pretty scary and was wondering what else I could do with my 1 year pre health that pays decent and isn’t too hefty
I’m taking finance diploma. I made friends in my class but next semester, we have different class schedule. Why is that. I finally made friends but we’re split…. Is there possibility that we are gonna have same class schedule again?
I don’t go to Fanshawe but my brother does and he hasn’t found a coop and is in the CPA program, should he still try to look for a coop (January is his coop term) or is he able to remove the coop term and just keep doing classes in January? And how can he do this?
I’m at a complete loss. i’m in an online program and I’m based outside of london. my placements start in january and since september ive been tracking down some place to administer a vaccine booster that im missing. it’s the only thing im missing from my health form. the months crept up on me and now the semesters almost over. what’s the consequence for not being able to start placement right away? i know if i can’t do it period i won’t be able to graduate but has anyone been in the same situation as me with any advice or answers??? i already emailed my prof but im crumbling at the thought of putting this much work into school and being effed over by one booster shot.

Current first med sci student at western looking to transfer to Respiratory therapy program at Fanshawe, and i have all high school required courses with average around 90+ except physics. Yet, I am currently in first year university physics wondering if I still have a chance to transfer.
Im graduating with a BA in applied Geography. I live in BC but I'm thinking about Fanshawe college for their 2 year urban planning and GIS, or BCIT advanced diploma in GIS.
Which do you think is worth my while? I want to become a planning technician but at the same time I also want to be a GIS analyst.....
Anyone try the fully online version?
Did you receive any job offers from this program? How was the job hunting after you got your diploma from this program?
Do you know anyone from BC who did this program and got a job there? BC has a heavy bias towards BCIT students, but at the same time I am not sure where I want to live yet further along my career.
And any other advice or comments would be greatly appreciated :)
Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone knows if I’m still able to access my room during the winter break or not or if my key card won’t work at all during this time period?
Now I’m livening in townhouse residence with other 5 dorm mates. One of them move out in a few weeks. So one room is available. In that case does a new student move in?
Is it true that traditional residence is completely closed during winter break, and students who live in traditional residence live in townhouse residence?
I'm starting class in January and I'm wondering if residency is still worth it. I've already applied to it and I've been on the waiting list for about a month now. Is it worth waiting for a spot to open? Or should I maybe lock in an apartment near by? Any help or info is appreciated.
I'm still pretty new to this so I appreciate any answers.
The prices of the pictures taken at the school are insane. The top package is $420. Even the package names alude to this. Are there any off campus alternatives? Or does someone have a cap and gown we can borrow to take our own?
Parking on campus is limited, and bus transportation can be inconvenient due to waiting times and overcrowding. To promote active transportation and improve accessibility, I propose the following:
Good evening, I am graduating in the class of 25’. I recently applied to Fanshawe and got accepted for both Automotive Co-op and Automotive in-school, I know the Co-op has very limited spots. Does anybody have experience between the two programs and what they’d recommend?
All of my other devices have connected without issue, but I’ve been trying since sept and can’t figure it out
Dozens of universities, including Western, have banned AI detection (Turnitin), as it is not accurate and can ruin a student's career. Why doesn't Fanshawe ban it as well?
Hi, I'm a prospective student aiming for the Marketing program for September next year, and I have a few questions.
-How bad/intense is the course load for Marketing?
-How hard is it to work while attending in residence?
-What's traditional residence usually like?
-Is there anyone else here taking marketing next year?
I feel like im wasting time with this diploma as there doesn’t seem to be many job opportunities after graduation. Should I switch to something more in demand?
Hello, I was wondering if anyone who has taken this program can tell me more about the remote experience? Are all the 3 years online? How heavy is the workload? With it being part time, do I get to choose my classes during first semester? And since it’s part time how long would you say it could take the average student?
Any and all insight on this program will really help me 🙌
What average did you get into fanshawe college with? Any program.
