Head Start Program

For students beginning their post-secondary journey in September 2020:

Congratulations, you are in! We are excited to welcome you to Fanshawe’s supportive school community.

 

UPDATE: Currently, the London Campus (and all other Fanshawe campuses) are closed, with an undefined date for reopening. To provide you with the best experience possible, it is critical that this program is held in-person and on campus. Additionally, it is expected any return to campus will initially require social distancing. We will expect to make a final decision on the best way forward in early June. Please check back then for further information on this program.
