Early October 2019: Online Applications Open
Applications available on ontariocolleges.ca
Mid October 2019: Fanshawe Begins Receiving Applications
Application Download: Fanshawe will begin receiving applications that have been processed by ontariocolleges.ca.
February 1, 2020: Equal Consideration Date
Equal Consideration Deadline: This means that all applications received by ontariocolleges.ca on, or before February 1st will be given equal consideration in the application process.
