Success at Fanshawe
Fanshawe College cares a lot about the success of all students. There are a significant number of supports and services that can help you deal with academic and personal challenges you may face as you pursue your academic and personal goals.
For info about all those resources and services, go online to myFanshawe and scroll through the student services menu to learn what services are available. If you are a new student to Fanshawe, there are some resources that have been specifically created with you in mind. To find them in myFanshawe, go to the red Student Services tab at the top, select Academic Advising from the dropdown, and look on the right-hand side of the page for the student documents section.
You will find the following material:
- Your First Year in Fanshawe: This chart shows you what to expect during your first year.
- Fanshawe 15: This suggests 15 things you can do to improve your first semester success.
- Student Success FAQs and The Student Guide to Success Services: These two should answer the majority of your questions about services and supports available to you.
It is important for students to understand that it's okay to seek support. In fact, the sooner you seek it, the better your outcome will be. If you still don't know where to start after reading the Student Documents section, you can drop into Room F2010 or see your Student Success Advisor.
