12.2 I Passed! What’s Next? Fanshawe College Recommendation for Graduation Process

Congratulations on completing the Personal Support Worker (PSW) Program at Fanshawe College! This is a major accomplishment that reflects your hard work, commitment, and growth throughout your time in the program.

Throughout the completion of the PSW Certificate Program, you have built a strong foundation in healthcare knowledge and developed the practical skills needed to support clients with compassion and professionalism. You have studied important topics like human anatomy, mental health, and communication, and you’ve learned how to provide safe, respectful, and person-centred care.
Your Clinical, Consolidation and Community Placements have given you real-world experience in a variety of healthcare settings. You’ve worked alongside healthcare professionals, supported individuals and families, and learned how to adapt to the challenges and rewards of this important role. These experiences have helped prepare you to confidently step into the healthcare profession and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Now that you’ve successfully completed all your courses and placements, it’s time to take the final steps toward graduation and begin your career as a PSW.

What’s Next?

After you have completed all required courses, your final grades will be transferred from Fanshawe Online to your WebAdvisor account. Once all grades have been transferred at the end of the semester, the PSW Program Coordinator will review your academic standing and submit a recommendation for graduation to the Registrar’s office.

Once approved, you will be automatically added to the graduation list and will receive a Letter of Completion from the Registrar’s Office. This process typically takes 10–14 business days.

Continue to monitor your Fanshawe College email. Your Letter of Completion and additional details about the graduation ceremony will be communicated via email.

If you receive a job offer from an agency, employers may request proof of PSW Program Completion. The Letter of Completion issued by the Registrar’s Office serves as official documentation until your PSW Certificate is presented at the graduation ceremony.
