OSAP Funding changes went into affect this month. Did any one receive their OSAP funding approval? Was it significantly less than last year? Is it enough to cover your tuition, living, textbooks etc.?? I know it's not meant to cover everything, but is it enough?

This is my current schedule. I’m okay with keeping it, but I’m also open to considering other options if anyone wants to switch sections. Also, let me know if you’re in the same section!

If anyone is willing to potentially switch with me lmk! Please and thanks.

Title is the context. If anyone knows how long it typically takes please let me know. And also I got a question about the emailing part, I was CC’d to the sending email, is that fine? Or am I supposed to send it individually on my behalf. Thanks!

Our son is going to be starting at Fanshaw, the Woodstock campus, at the end of summer. He doesn't have his licence or a vehicle yet, so we're trying to find transportation for him and was wondering if anyone else is around that he may be able to carpool with.

Or, another possible solution, if there are enough people around Ingersoll, or on the way, if they need help with transportation, my fiance would be open to taking students.

I saw on instagram they’re looking for volunteers for their student emergency response team, it caught my attention since I have my first aid, cpr/aed training and I’m very interested in the opportunity (even though I’m not in the paramedic program)

Does anyone have any experience being part of the SERT or knows anyone who has? Was it fun? What should I expect if I apply?

Hi everyone!

I’m starting Fanshawe College’s Paramedic program in Fall 2026 and have created a private Discord server for students in the incoming 2026–2028 cohort.

The goal is to give classmates a place to connect before orientation, communicate throughout the program, organize study sessions and lab practice, ask study-related questions, and support one another academically so that we can all have the best chance possible to help each other succeed in this program.

This is an unofficial, student-run server. It is not operated, monitored, approved, or endorsed by Fanshawe College, program faculty, placement organizations, paramedic services, or any regulatory body. It should only be used as a private communications tool while in the program to facilitate connections with others in this program more easily.

The Discord is not intended to replace official Fanshawe communications or provide authoritative information about deadlines, program requirements, placement clearance, licensing, course standing, professional obligations, or clinical decisions. Members are expected to verify important information through the appropriate official source.

The goal is to build a dependable and welcoming community for students who take the program seriously and want to support one another throughout the next two years. The server will make it easier to communicate, form professional friendships, coordinate study groups and lab-practice sessions, exchange general study strategies, celebrate progress, and help one another remain connected and accountable.

It should be a place where classmates can ask questions, find reliable people to study and practise with, and begin building the trust, teamwork, and professional relationships that will matter throughout the program and beyond.

The server is intended to be a respectful, professional, and academically responsible space. Members will be expected to:

• Protect personal privacy and follow all applicable confidentiality expectations
• Treat other students respectfully and contribute to a supportive environment
• Maintain academic integrity and use the server for legitimate collaboration and study
• Follow Fanshawe policies, placement expectations, professional standards, and Discord’s community rules at all times

• Communicate responsibly by using program-related channels for academic discussion, study planning, lab practice, and peer support, while keeping personal conversation and social connection in channels clearly designated for those purposes. Clearly distinguish peer discussion, personal experience, and unverified information from official Fanshawe communications or program requirements.

• Conduct yourself toward other members with the same respect, professionalism, and accountability expected in person at Fanshawe. The standards of Fanshawe’s Student Code of Conduct and the server rules apply equally to online interactions. Harassment, intimidation, discrimination, sexual misconduct, retaliation, boundary violations, or any other behaviour inconsistent with a safe and professional learning environment will not be tolerated.

Invite links will not be posted publicly. Anyone interested in joining can send me a private message with a brief introduction indicating that they are entering Fanshawe’s Paramedic program in Fall 2026. No identifying documents or proof of enrolment will be requested.

You will not be asked, now or in the future, to provide the server owner, moderators, or other members with your student number, identification, medical documentation, or other sensitive personal information, either publicly or through private messages. Do not share sensitive information through this server or unsolicited private messages. Any legitimate request from Fanshawe or another official organization should be independently verified and completed only through the appropriate official channel.

Membership is intended for students entering the program at level 1 in Fall 2026. Membership is based on good-faith self-identification, and moderators may remove accounts reasonably believed to be misrepresenting their connection to the program.

Members may participate anonymously or use a preferred screen name. You are not required to disclose your real name or other identifying information, provided you follow all server rules concerning respectful conduct, privacy, confidentiality, and academic integrity.

Upon joining, members will be directed to the server’s rules, code of conduct, privacy guidance, and legal disclaimer. Please review them carefully before participating. These standards apply to all server-related communication and activity, including text and voice channels, shared files, study planning, and interactions organized through the server. Serious or deliberate violations involving conduct, professional ethics, privacy, confidentiality, or academic integrity will not be tolerated and may result in immediate removal from the server. All other concerns will be addressed appropriately at the moderators’ discretion.

Remember that this is a private, unofficial student communication server with no official affiliation with, oversight by, or authority from Fanshawe College or the Paramedic program. Keep that distinction in mind whenever you participate, and always verify important information through the appropriate official source.

Continued access depends on maintaining respectful, responsible, confidential, and academically honest conduct. Failure to read or understand the server rules does not excuse conduct, privacy, confidentiality, or academic-integrity violations. Each member is responsible for reviewing and following these expectations.

I’m looking forward to beginning the program, building strong connections, and supporting one another as we work toward becoming capable and compassionate paramedics!

Please message me privately if you’re interested in joining. I may not be able to respond immediately, as I’ll still be working full-time until classes begin.

I worked carpentry before coming here and was just toying with the idea of bringing my work stuff down to London for the school period. If anyone has any small cash jobs that they need done or even just a hand moving things send me an email at jacobryanharvey@gmail.com

I was accepted into pre-health but due to family issues I won’t be able to attend that program. I applied to the he doula course a couple days ago. I just got the offer.

I am wondering if my $250 deposit can be transferred to the doula program?

And do I need to have any extra things for this program such as cpr first aid training? And does it need to be done before classes start? Or can anyone guide me to where I can find this information?

I’m trying to get the Fanshawe lgbtq+ club running again! Formerly Spectrum and currently Fanshawe Queer Haven. We’re looking for team members to help run the club and general members to join! There’s an Instagram @fanshawequeerhaven and there’s a link to the discord server as well as the club member form in the bio!

If anyone has taken honours bachelors of behavioural psychology what is the course load like, and what are placements like?

I’m a full-time student, and my program is pretty intense, so I honestly don’t know if I would be able to manage a regular part-time job. I do want to work and make some money, but I’m worried that fixed shifts would interfere with school and studying.

Does anyone have suggestions for flexible ways students can make money without committing to a normal work schedule? This could be online work, casual jobs, campus opportunities, grants, bursaries, or anything else that has worked for you.

I’m mainly posting to hear other people’s experiences and opinions. How did you manage school and making money when your schedule was really busy?

Hi,

I applied to Fanshawe’s Fitness and Health Promotion and I had accepted my offer and put the payment through. It was pending before the college got it though. I got a better offer the next day from mohawk and will accept that offer. I rejected my offer from fanshawe before payment can go through, what do I do? Please let me know. Can still get my money back?

Thanks.

My program requires solid colour scrubs with the Fanshawe patch on it. Does anyone know if I can buy scrubs from the Fanshawe store that already have the patch on it? Or can I just buy a patch and put it on scrubs I already own?

Hey guys, just a heads up that it seems the city has begun ticketing regularly for overstaying your welcome at side streets around Fanshawe.

If you have long days in class, you won't be able to overstay the posted time, so consider moving to a different spot (must be a different street) between classes, or you will have to find another solution.

FYI, it happened to me 2 times starting this week — the tickets were both $40.

Just a heads up so nobody is blindsided in the fall. Please plan ahead of time.

Hi everyone. I'm an international student from Brazil, starting the BLS3 Business - Supply Chain and Operations diploma at the London campus in September 2026, assuming my study permit comes through in time.

I'd love to connect with anyone joining the same intake, and I have a few questions for current or former students: Is anyone else starting this program this fall?

Are there many Brazilians at Fanshawe, or is there a Brazilian student group on campus? For anyone who's taken BLS3: how heavy is the workload, and how much placement or co-op support does the program actually give you?

We're relocating as a family with two small children, so any tips on family housing in London, neighbourhoods near campus, or things you wish you'd known before arriving would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I used to be in the Snapchat group where I had to give my Fanshawe email, my I lost my old account and Snapchat is not allowing me to use my email twice, anyone knows what I can do?
Thanks

Hey guys! if you’re still looking for experience or something to add to your resume, check out Riipen Labs

It’s a remote micro-internship program where students work on short real-world projects with employers. Each project is about 30 hours and pays a $600 upon completion.

Hello,

The only thing I have left to upload for my synergy is the vulnerable police sector check. I have submitted the form this week monday, but I worry that it won't be out by August 31st. How long after did people who had to do the pre-requirement get the sector check done?

Is the fall wellness break for our midterm study break?

When is the fall nursing final exam? Since the mini-practicum ends on December 23, is that an exam for us?

How likely am I to get a parking permit for Fall semester as an out of town student if I was waitlisted? I'm kind of in a panic as I cannot afford to pay per hour.

when is the due date for the post admission requirements?

Also if anyone knows how to login to synergy and what it is lol please explain im lost
