Exchange Programs

Students studying on an official Carleton University exchange are considered to be Carleton students for the subsidized/unsubsidized/PLUS and alternative loans. This means that:

• You pay tuition and fees to Carleton University
• You apply for US loans following Carleton University’s procedures
• Your exchange school is not located within the continental United States
• All exchange schools must be Title IV approved to be eligible to get aid for the exchange. Any university that is not Title IV approved will jeopardize your aid while on exchange and future eligibility for aid.

If you intend to go on an official exchange as part of your program, you must be attending a Title IV eligible school. Please check the Federal School Code list (under Foreign Country) to ensure the partner/host university is eligible.

If your exchange institution is not Title IV eligible, you are not eligible for a U.S. student aid loan while you study abroad. Email awards@carleton.ca to discuss your financial options before you apply you travel abroad.
