Update on London South Campus

Our priority is to ensure all students currently enrolled at our London South Campus will have the opportunity to complete their programs with the same quality of education and support they expected when they chose to study at Fanshawe. Those students whose program ends after the winter or spring semester will not be impacted. Those students whose program will continue into the fall semester will complete in-person classes at our London Campus or the Simcoe/Norfolk Regional Campus (Agri-Business Management program only). More details about revised timetables and locations will be shared closer to the Fall 2026 semester.

A campus change does not affect the validity of a student’s study permit. You will remain a registered student in the same Designated Learning Institution (DLI). If you have additional concerns, please meet with a Student Life and Immigration Advisor. Book an appointment.

We recognize the impact this news will have on our faculty, staff and students.

Fanshawe is going through a period of significant transition. Due to unprecedented financial constraints, we continue to take difficult but necessary steps to address a significant deficit over the next two years due, in part, by the continued decline in international enrolments.

We continue to thoughtfully approach the problem by tightly monitoring our non-essential spending and reviewing our leased space portfolio. That review, coupled with a further 52.9% decline (to 3,142 students) in international enrolments for Fall 2025 semester, has confirmed that London South is no longer financially viable.

We remain committed to our teaching and learning spaces at our regional campuses as well as in downtown London.

We understand the uncertainty this creates for employees connected to London South. No decisions have been made about what positions will be impacted. Fanshawe is committed to thoughtfully supporting impacted employees during this transition.

Faculty and staff directly connected to London South have been personally informed by academic leadership. These conversations are being held with care and respect. More information will be shared with those employees as soon as possible.

We are currently exploring our options for the building.

We recognize that some students may have signed leases through the fall of 2026. We encourage students who are interested in finding accommodations closer to London Campus to contact our Off-Campus Housing office at offcampushousing@fanshawec.ca. Our dedicated off-campus housing service, including partnership with Places4Students Inc., provides resources to assist students access safe, affordable and reliable housing options.
