A new college year is underway and the halls are once again filled with the hustle and bustle of students! I would like to welcome you all to Fanshawe, whether you are a returning student or just starting out at this amazing place.

As is the case no matter where you go, there are rules and expectations that need to be followed. The Code of Conduct Policy sets out the expectations the college has for our students. We strive for an environment that is respectful to all and where our students have the opportunity to be successful in their endeavours.

Hopefully you've seen the Student Code of Conduct posters around the College. The message is pretty simple, really: "It's About Choices." You now have the opportunity to shape your futures and while you're here I encourage you to stay focused on the reason you came to Fanshawe College. There will be parties and many other social gatherings, and it would be naïve to believe that you will not partake in at least some of them, so I ask you to remember the Three Rs: Respect for yourself, Respect for others both in the college community and in the community of London, and be Responsible in your actions.

Your time here at Fanshawe College should be remembered, when you cross the stage at your graduation and in future, as some of the best years of your life.
