The tables below include the minimum requirements to be considered
COPE request approvals are never guaranteed ; consideration is given to requests that meet minimum requirements, subject to space availability in the requested program. Updates to these requirements may be made throughout the academic year.
We strongly suggest running a “what-if” audit in your requested program to check (i) year standing, (ii) Overall CGPA, and (iii) Courses in Excess at the bottom of the audit.
These minimum requirements apply only to students already enrolled in a Bachelor of Engineering program. Students from other degree programs must contact admissions@carleton.ca to apply for admission to BENG as an internal transfer student.
