Program details
Overview
Delivered part-time online, this English for Academic Purposes program runs as 10 eight-week levels, with two levels completed per college semester. Seven of each level's eight weeks focus on intensive training in academic English, covering grammar, reading, writing, listening, speaking and pronunciation, while the final week offers experiential learning through workshops, excursions and events. A minimum grade of 70% is required to progress to the next level.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This program is open to Canadian citizens, permanent residents and convention refugees who hold the equivalent of a high-school diploma from a non-English-speaking country; the page states it is not open to international applicants. Rather than a fixed English test score, applicants must contact [email protected] before applying on ontariocolleges.ca to book an English-language placement test; Fanshawe evaluates every prospective student through a computer-based listening and reading assessment, a writing sample and a conversation with an EAP instructor to set their starting level, though an existing IELTS, TOEFL or Cambridge score can also be used for placement. No fixed minimum grade, portfolio or interview is listed. Applicants admitted under convention-refugee or protected-person status must hold a valid study permit before starting, and Fanshawe notes a permit can take up to six months, so early application is recommended.
Application Details
Start Date:September, January and May
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for Fall 2027 entry, applications open in early October 2026 and the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, after which later applications are assessed on a first-come basis until seats fill; non-competitive programs begin receiving offers from 1 November 2026, competitive-program offers go out by 30 March 2027, and 1 May 2027 is the usual deadline to accept an offer. International applicants apply directly to Fanshawe (CAD 100 fee) and face fixed document deadlines rather than a single closing date: for the current intakes, study-permit and conditions-met documents are due 10/15 August 2026 (Fall), 9/15 December 2026 (Winter) and 5/15 April 2027 (Summer); missing a deadline can mean deferral to the next intake. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
