Recognition of International Exchange on Transcript<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Carleton University recognizes students who successfully complete a pattern of study at a non-Canadian university comprising a significant international experience with a notation on both the student’s transcript and diploma. To qualify for a notation, the pattern of study must be either an approved pattern of study under a recognized International Exchange program, or an alternate pattern of study approved by the Dean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The notation with Study Term Abroad<\/i> will be used when the equivalent of 2.0 to 3.5 credits of courses are successfully completed, normally within one term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The notation with Study Year Abroad <\/i>will be used when the equivalent of 4.0 or more credits of courses are successfully completed, normally within one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
