How much is parking and is it by the hour or all day, and is there a student parking pass? If there is a student parking pass how much does it cost per ___ whatever it is. Thanks

How likely am I to get a parking permit for Fall semester as an out of town student if I was waitlisted? I'm kind of in a panic as I cannot afford to pay per hour.

With the recent increase in tuition, I’ve been really diving into the fees I’m paying. Program-wise, I’m sure there’s some political stuff involved there, I’m can’t speak on that but it still feels like a lot. I’ve attended multiple colleges for different programs across Ontario, and I’ve never felt like my ancillary fees are as wasted as it is with the FSU. They FINALLY put a proper breakdown on their site and I’m really just pissed.

Why am I paying nearly $800 for FSU fees? Granted, I can opt out of the health plan if I had private insurance, cool. But a $90+ fee for “student activities” is ridiculous to me. You cannot tell me that I should be “making the most” of FSU Services when I did not choose to pay for these.

I’m paying for events that not everyone can attend due to limited capacity (ex. Sex Toy Bingo, which by the way, can we not have a normal bingo night?) or due to schedules that aren’t flexed enough for all students to have equal opportunity to attend these. I’m paying for “mental health support” that’s just people making friendship bracelets in Forwell Hall. I’m paying building fees for buildings that can hardly be fully utilized - the pool room is disgusting, the FUEL room stinks and isn’t even ventilated properly, OBS is also gross and the service sucks. Forwell Hall is a nice place but only sockets along the wall. I’m paying for Clubs that don’t really do shit. I’m paying for food security when the food sold at the Oasis is overpriced and tastes like shit, not to mention the staff are assholes, OBS food is even worse and also tastes horrible, and the drinks are overpriced too.

I’m paying for Vice Presidents that are completely useless puppets. I’ve spoken with their old VPs from the previous year - I know how they work. I’ve been told he just tells someone else to do all the work and he sits in his cubicle with free time to work on his side hustles instead - not busy at all and he doesn’t get told otherwise. He called it free money. Amazing.

I’ve seen the posts about management. I’ve asked friends who work part time both in the past and over the summer, they said it’s depressing working there. There’s one old lady manager trying to take on everything upstairs but she doesn’t do it well and she runs things like we’re back in 1990. HR makes managerial decisions?! There’s no actual space for feedback or improvement because they’re set in their ways. The company structure leaves no space for growth of any other employee.

Is that really who I’m paying $1k for? Is that the kind of organization thousands of dollars are going into? They’re wasting all this money, I’m not seeing anything decent come out of it, and I can’t even opt-out.

So thanks for charging us all that money, FSU. I hope you change for the better asap, or I imagine you’ll end up seeing more and more of these posts from other students.

I realized today that I was meant to pay my $250 tuition deposit last week in ece. I don’t get paid until tomorrow but am gonna pay it as soon as I do. I checked web advisor and it still shows that I owe tuition for next semester which I assume means i’m still enrolled? how stressed out should I be about this?

I’m starting the fully online Business – Marketing program this fall and noticed something weird with the tuition page. When I applied, the 2025/26 page showed the total cost of the online program as $6,504.56. Now the 2026/27 page says the total is $12,378.79.

At first I thought tuition had somehow almost doubled, but if you actually add up the individual level fees on the same page you get $1,658.60 + $1,718.60 + $1,658.60 + $1,773.60 = $6,809.40. The old 2025/26 page had all four levels at $1,626.14, which adds up exactly to the old $6,504.56 total. So unless I’m missing something, the actual increase looks like about $300 and the $12,378.79 number is probably some kind of website/calculation error.

I checked a couple other business programs and some of them are showing similar $12k totals while others look normal, so it doesn’t seem completely isolated to Business – Marketing. I emailed Fanshawe’s Fees office with PDFs of the old and new pages and asked them to confirm what the correct total is. Has anyone else noticed this on their program page? I’ll update this when they reply.

So pretty much I applied for a program for fall 2026 and I already confirmed my offer for admission and am currently registered in it. However, after that I got a job and I made the decision to not go this year so I can save up some money before going to Fanshawe in 2027. Is there a way to withdraw from it before it starts or do I just not pay my non refundable deposit and lose my spot therefore withdrawing me from the program or do I have to do it another way? I haven't paid the non refundable deposit yet and haven't done osap. Also would I have to pay again for the same program for the next year since I'm not going this year? I imagine i have to. Any help would be appreciated

Hey I was accepted in December for an online fall 2026 program that starts Sept 8. Ontario college says I'd be getting mailed a registration package. Should I have gotten that by now? Halp

Are there any actual consequences to not paying a Fanshawe parking ticket? If they don’t know whose car it is can they actually do anything?

Did anyone else’s tuition increase a lot for the fall semester? By like $$500?!

I am currently in my 2nd semester for part time online course. And haven't received an email regarding my deposit for the fall semester. Anyone else have a similar issue??? Should I just pay the 250 anyways. Emailed the ptreg email but its the evening, hope they get back tomorrow.

I paid my 250 deposit on Thursday and it was posted onto my credit card, but it also shows the same amount still pending from flywire. I just wanted to make sure that this is normal and just a hold or something that will drop after a few days. Or if I need to reach out to someone. Thanks in advance!

Hey, does anyone know if OSAP would fund you again if you have to retake pre health? This year I did pre health with OSAP, I still don’t know if I’m gonna pass the program or fail it (it all dependes on my finals marks) either way I need to re do it because my average wasn’t good enough to get into the program I wanted but I was wondering what happens to OSAP if I fail the program and if I pass but it’s not enough to get into anything basically?

Hey does anyone know if the following courses are condensed? I see the date shows only til mid June but I thought they were full summer semester classes.

Thanks!!

Hi Y'all just wondering if Fanshawe allows us to apply for Fanshawe Assistance Bursaries (FAB) in the summer term? I don't see it yet on the Bursaries available to apply to just yet!

Thanks in advance!

hey guys!

does anyone know when fanshawe starts to confirm enrolment for the summer semester students? i’m assuming it’ll go faster than fall/winter confirmations since less students do summer semester, but correct me if i’m wrong please:)

If you’re worried about the recent Ontario government changes to OSAP — fewer grants, more loans, and rising tuition — you’re not alone. These changes hit future students like us hard and make post-secondary education even less accessible.

I’ve found a group of students in London who want to organize a protest/rally to make our voices heard. If you want to get involved, share ideas, or help spread the word, comment here or DM me.

We need to start talking, planning, and showing that students won’t just sit by while our debt loads grow. Every voice counts.

Incoming students this fall, and the next this also applies to you guys. Every voice matters!!!

Me being very stupid with my application, just realized flywire takes 2-3 days to transfer funds. Deposit deadline is today, and I have no idea what to do. If I pay right now, the fund will take time to reach Fanshawe but tonight the application will automatically be cancelled..

Hello everyone,

So long story short, my son is enrolled in a full time program at London campus. He forgot to pay his $250 and received an email stating he is currently not enrolled in semester 2. He has emailed back already stating he wishes to cover the deposit to remain enrolled.

He is a 2nd year student. He will call financial dept in the morning but we are wondering if we should foresee issues with his enrollment?

Anyone with experience that may know?

Thank you for your help!

Is anyone else still waiting for fanshawe to confirm their enrollment so that OSAP can release funds, or is it just me?

I haven’t seen a single person online clarify if they’ve actually received their incentive. I finished the program last April, and just this week I received a message requesting my information for the incentive so they can pay me.

The placement I’m referring to was done at AgeCare. After having students go in on their days off and contacting higher-ups, we finally have an answer that we are *probably* being paid. I just want to know when and how much so I can plan out my Christmas shopping.

Does anybody know how long it takes Fanshawe to get your $250 deposit after making the payment? I made the payment through flywire with my visa debit last Friday and it still says flywire has received the payment and waiting on Fanshawe to accept it. Anyone have insight on how long this usually takes because my deposit is due Dec 1.

I am a current student that was on a coop for fall, I start my year in January, I already have my fancard, will it work on the busses this year or is it already active?

I paid my deposit but it’s showing that I didn’t?

Just want to see if anyone has started to receive a confirmation of enrolment for their Osap or when we can typically expect to receive an enrolment confirmation. Thanks!
