2. Select the Fall term from the dropdown menu and click View Worksheet. Your mandatory, preselected courses will appear on your worksheet.
3. Click PROCEED TO REGISTRATION.
   Note: This button will not be activated until your Registration Time-ticket opens. Your time-ticket remains open until the end of the registration period.
4. Click Submit to register in your courses. Any errors will appear when the page refreshes. Classes that are successfully registered will appear as “Registered on…” in the status column.
5. Ensure that you are registered in ALL your Fall term classes as shown on your Program Progression Tree (202530).
6. At the bottom of the page, click Change Term and repeat steps 1-5 for the Winter term.
   Note: Some of your Winter term classes have prerequisites that you are taking in the Fall term. If you are getting registration warnings/errors stating you do not meet the prerequisites, check your Fall term registration to ensure you are registered in everything in your block schedule, and then click Submit. Should registration errors persist, please contact ECORSupport@carleton.ca.
7. Once registered for both terms, review your Student Timetable for both the Fall and Winter terms to ensure that all courses appear in your weekly schedule.

Note: You should register in both the Fall and Winter terms when your time-ticket opens. For tuition payment deadlines for each term, refer to the Student Accounts Receivable Dates and Deadlines.

1. Review your Program Progression Tree (202530) to determine if you need to add a Basic Science Elective and/or a Complimentary Studies Elective to your schedule.
2. Review the list of approved Basic Science Electives (BSEs) or Complimentary Studies Electives (CSEs).  Elective Information will be posted ahead of the registration period.
3. Login to Carleton Central and click Build Your Timetable/Registration.

For further assistance, watch the Class Search How-To Videos.

Note: Some elective courses will require you to register in additional components (e.g. labs, discussion groups, tutorials). This is indicated by the “Also register in…” note on each search result.

7. Click Proceed to Worksheet and confirm on your worksheet that the course section(s) you chose do not conflict with any courses in your block.
