The date at which a student submits an application form has no impact on the placement result of this student.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that students are asked to make multiple choices to maximize their chances to be placed; however, the placement process will assign only one course per student, which will be attended all week long.<\/p>\n<p>For further information on eligibility and registration, please contact your school\u2019s administration or your school board representative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About MCP Carleton University offers mini-courses in a variety of subjects.
