Applicants short of these courses are directed toward academic upgrading or Fanshawe's one-year Business Fundamentals Ontario College Certificate, which carries successful graduates into level 2 of any Lawrence Kinlin School of Business diploma. Graduates may later bridge into the Business Administration - Accounting Advanced Diploma or the Honours Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) degree after completing the bridging requirements. English-language applicants must meet Fanshawe's published minimums: IELTS Academic overall 6.0 with no band below 5.5, or TOEFL iBT overall 4.5 with no section below 4 on the 2026 scale (79 on the pre-2026 scale); PTE Academic, CAEL, Duolingo, Cambridge English and LanguageCert scores are also accepted. Where eligible applicants exceed available seats, Fanshawe ranks by preference for Ontario permanent residents, then by applications received by February 1st, then by strength against the admission requirements. Advanced standing is available through prior academic credit or Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR).
