Doing well in your courses? Consider adding another in the winter term. The criteria for adding a half-credit course in January is:

• Minimum of B- (70%) average in current courses
• Strong (70+%) workshop and FYSM attendance.

The deadline to apply is December 15th – but applying earlier is better since courses do fill up. We are offering CIED 1001: Selected Topics in Pop Culture (note: the link is to last year’s class. This year’s class will be Thursday 2:35-5:25 pm and likely offered in person), but you are welcome to select a different course from the public class schedule (space permitting).

A bursary is a financial award (free money!) that is granted on the basis of financial need, not grades (which makes them different from scholarships). Unlike loans, bursaries do not have to be repaid.  The bursary program exists to help (but not replace) your main sources of funding such as OSAP or other loans/grants/etc. The deadline for bursary applications this year is October 31st.

Apply online through Carleton Central. Looking for a bursary to help offset the costs of technology? You can add that request to your Undergraduate Application Bursary in Carleton Central.

Academic coaches can help you with your application! Book here.
