There is roughly 1 to 2 weeks between semesters depending on <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ses\/examination-services\/exam-schedule\/\">when scheduled examinations take place<\/a> as the examination period can be 1 to 2 weeks depending on the term. If a student&#8217;s examinations are scheduled at the beginning of the examination period they may have a longer break between terms, or if their course does not have a final scheduled examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-where-are-the-carleton-nursing-labs-located\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    Where are the Carleton Nursing Labs located? \n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-where-are-the-carleton-nursing-labs-located\">\n            \n\n<p>Carleton University Simulation Collaborative (CUSC) is located in\u202fKanata\u202fand will be operational for our first cohort of students as of the Winter 2026 term. <br><br>The labs are equipped with several different mannequins to simulate different patient experiences.
