Fanshawe develops policies and procedures as a resource for staff, students and the wider College community. These documents are intended to guide decision-making around a number of topics, including student code of conduct, board governance and more. Policies and procedures are developed to reflect Fanshawe’s values and overall mission to provide pathways to success, an exceptional learning experience and a global outlook to meet student and employer needs.
All college policies are available in accessible formats upon request. To obtain an accessible version of any policy, please contact accessibility@fanshawe.ca.

In keeping with the Ontario Human Rights Code and in response to the legislative and directive requirements of Bill 166, Strengthening Accountability and Student Supports Act, 2024, Fanshawe has amended its P208: Respectful College Community and Prevention of Harassment and Discrimination and A130: Student Code of Conduct policies to include information on how the College proactively combats and addresses incidents of racism and acts of hate, including a detailed outline of how the institution will conduct intake, institutional assessment, complaint review, interim measures, decision and outcome, and appeals. College-wide consultation has been undertaken as part of this process.
