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.
