Grades

Your official grades and program progression status are available on WebAdvisor approximately one week after the end of each term.

Additional time may be required for grading of students in Ontario Learn, apprenticeship or other part-time courses.

Current students can find more information on grades, GPA and the Dean’s honour roll within MyFanshawe.

Credentials

Credentials are your degree, diploma or certificate. Printed credentials are provided at convocation ceremonies and are held for one year following your convocation ceremony. If your credential is not picked up during that time and is needed at a later date, a new copy will need to be produced. Fees and standard processing times will apply. As an alumni, if you need to request a new copy, you will need to complete the Credential Request form. 

Transcripts

Access via WebAdvisor

If a transcript is required for personal use, post-graduate work permits or study permit purposes, current students can access “Transcript” on WebAdvisor and obtain their transcript immediately. 

Digital transcripts through MyCreds™

Fanshawe has switched from Parchment to a new digital credential platform called MyCreds™ to issue academic documents electronically.

MyCreds™ provides fast and easy access to request and send your transcripts and credentials to academic institutions, employers, government offices and more, anytime, anywhere.

Starting in August 2024, new graduates will receive an email from MyCreds™ letting them know their transcript has been uploaded. 

Alumni who have graduated prior to the fall of 2019 are asked to complete the Transcript Request Form to obtain access to MyCreds™.

Are my documents secure?

Yes. Documents in your MyCreds™ digital wallet are secure and can only be viewed by you and those who you share links with.

How will the receiver of my document know my document is authentic?

Documents are cryptographically signed to prevent tampering. Once you authorize the release of your information, MyCreds™ shares it with the receiver through a secure, trusted network, eliminating third parties. Unlike paper, digital documents are more efficient.

I have a question about the content and/or information on my documents. What should I do?

If you notice errors or omissions on any of your MyCreds™ documents (ie. misspelling, missing or incorrect courses/grades, etc.), please contact Fanshawe College Student Records at records@fanshawec.ca.
