Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Law Clerk (Co-op) program page does not list its own entrance requirements; it simply directs applicants to Fanshawe's institution-wide admission requirements. Under that policy, a diploma such as this one is open to applicants holding an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with at least four Grade 12 courses at the College (C), Mixed (M) or University (U) level, an Academic and Career Entrance (ACE) certificate, or an equivalent secondary diploma from outside Ontario; mature applicants at least 19 and two years past high school may be admitted without the diploma if they hold credit in every course the program lists as a requirement. Any applicant whose first language is not English must meet Fanshawe's institution-wide English proficiency requirement, whose minimums vary by credential level and are published on the same admission-requirements page; the program page itself states no further academic, portfolio, interview or experience condition. Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca; international applicants apply directly to Fanshawe and pay a CAD 100 application fee.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
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.
