With Western University announcing the rest of this semester’s exams will be virtual, amidst growing concerns about the pandemic, many students in post-secondary school are left wondering what the fate of the winter semester will be.

Fanshawe College has put their students at ease today, announcing its new plan.

Currently, the school is operating at 40 per cent blended learning.

They were going to increase that number to 90 per cent next semester.

But they have decided to keep the in-person learning capacity limits to 40 per cent.

“Most of our business courses that don’t have the physical lab setting will be fully online,” said Michele Beaudoin, vice-president of student services for Fanshawe College.

They are also scaling back on service staff and have cancelled major in-person events.
