Requirements

Admission Requirements: Direct entry requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, or mature-applicant status with credit in Grade 12 English (College or University stream, C or U). Applicants short of this are directed to academic upgrading, with a conditional offer possible on proof of enrolment. Graduates may transfer into the second year of Fanshawe's Office Administration - Health Services or Office Administration - Executive diplomas. Where applications exceed available seats, Fanshawe ranks applicants by Ontario-residency preference, then by application-receipt date against the February 1 deadline, then by achievement in the admission requirements. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet the Diplomas, Advanced Diplomas & Certificates tier: IELTS Academic overall 6.0 with no band below 5.5, or TOEFL iBT 79 (2026-scale equivalent overall 4.5, no band below 4.0), among Fanshawe's other accepted English tests.

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.
