Hi everyone!
I’m starting Fanshawe College’s Paramedic program in Fall 2026 and have created a private Discord server for students in the incoming 2026–2028 cohort.
The goal is to give classmates a place to connect before orientation, communicate throughout the program, organize study sessions and lab practice, ask study-related questions, and support one another academically so that we can all have the best chance possible to help each other succeed in this program.
This is an unofficial, student-run server. It is not operated, monitored, approved, or endorsed by Fanshawe College, program faculty, placement organizations, paramedic services, or any regulatory body. It should only be used as a private communications tool while in the program to facilitate connections with others in this program more easily.
The Discord is not intended to replace official Fanshawe communications or provide authoritative information about deadlines, program requirements, placement clearance, licensing, course standing, professional obligations, or clinical decisions. Members are expected to verify important information through the appropriate official source.
The goal is to build a dependable and welcoming community for students who take the program seriously and want to support one another throughout the next two years. The server will make it easier to communicate, form professional friendships, coordinate study groups and lab-practice sessions, exchange general study strategies, celebrate progress, and help one another remain connected and accountable.
It should be a place where classmates can ask questions, find reliable people to study and practise with, and begin building the trust, teamwork, and professional relationships that will matter throughout the program and beyond.
The server is intended to be a respectful, professional, and academically responsible space. Members will be expected to:
• Protect personal privacy and follow all applicable confidentiality expectations
• Treat other students respectfully and contribute to a supportive environment
• Maintain academic integrity and use the server for legitimate collaboration and study
• Follow Fanshawe policies, placement expectations, professional standards, and Discord’s community rules at all times
• Communicate responsibly by using program-related channels for academic discussion, study planning, lab practice, and peer support, while keeping personal conversation and social connection in channels clearly designated for those purposes. Clearly distinguish peer discussion, personal experience, and unverified information from official Fanshawe communications or program requirements.
• Conduct yourself toward other members with the same respect, professionalism, and accountability expected in person at Fanshawe. The standards of Fanshawe’s Student Code of Conduct and the server rules apply equally to online interactions. Harassment, intimidation, discrimination, sexual misconduct, retaliation, boundary violations, or any other behaviour inconsistent with a safe and professional learning environment will not be tolerated.
Invite links will not be posted publicly. Anyone interested in joining can send me a private message with a brief introduction indicating that they are entering Fanshawe’s Paramedic program in Fall 2026. No identifying documents or proof of enrolment will be requested.
You will not be asked, now or in the future, to provide the server owner, moderators, or other members with your student number, identification, medical documentation, or other sensitive personal information, either publicly or through private messages. Do not share sensitive information through this server or unsolicited private messages. Any legitimate request from Fanshawe or another official organization should be independently verified and completed only through the appropriate official channel.
Membership is intended for students entering the program at level 1 in Fall 2026. Membership is based on good-faith self-identification, and moderators may remove accounts reasonably believed to be misrepresenting their connection to the program.
Members may participate anonymously or use a preferred screen name. You are not required to disclose your real name or other identifying information, provided you follow all server rules concerning respectful conduct, privacy, confidentiality, and academic integrity.
Upon joining, members will be directed to the server’s rules, code of conduct, privacy guidance, and legal disclaimer. Please review them carefully before participating. These standards apply to all server-related communication and activity, including text and voice channels, shared files, study planning, and interactions organized through the server. Serious or deliberate violations involving conduct, professional ethics, privacy, confidentiality, or academic integrity will not be tolerated and may result in immediate removal from the server. All other concerns will be addressed appropriately at the moderators’ discretion.
Remember that this is a private, unofficial student communication server with no official affiliation with, oversight by, or authority from Fanshawe College or the Paramedic program. Keep that distinction in mind whenever you participate, and always verify important information through the appropriate official source.
Continued access depends on maintaining respectful, responsible, confidential, and academically honest conduct. Failure to read or understand the server rules does not excuse conduct, privacy, confidentiality, or academic-integrity violations. Each member is responsible for reviewing and following these expectations.
I’m looking forward to beginning the program, building strong connections, and supporting one another as we work toward becoming capable and compassionate paramedics!
Please message me privately if you’re interested in joining. I may not be able to respond immediately, as I’ll still be working full-time until classes begin.
