Time Tickets & Year Standings
For Fall and Winter registration sessions all students are assigned ‘time-tickets’ according to their year standing and the last two digits of their student number. Once a time-ticket has activated for registration it will remain active until the last day to register in January.
Your ability to register in a Political Science course will require that:
- Your time-ticket has opened according to the University schedule.
- You have the necessary year standing for the course.
- You have completed the course prerequisites, as indicated in the course descriptions found in the Undergraduate Calendar.
- There is space available in the course you are attempting to register into.
Space in Courses That Are Full
Many PSCI courses have wait lists that will be activated when the course is full. If the course you wish to register in has a waitlist and you meet all the registration requirements and prerequisites for the course, you will have access to the wait list via Carleton Central.
For courses that do not have waitlists, please monitor Carleton Central frequently in case space becomes available.
Registration Override Requests
Students seeking permission to register in a course for which they lack the required year-standing or prerequisites may submit a registration request via the “Registration Override Request” feature located under the “Add or Drop Classes” page on Carleton Central. Please note that submitting a request does not guarantee space in courses. You may only submit one request per course.
If you have non-Carleton equivalents for prerequisite courses you will be required to provide supporting documentation (i.e., transcripts and/or course descriptions for evaluation purposes).
All email correspondence to the Undergraduate Advising Office must come from your Carleton email account. Emails from non-Carleton accounts will not receive a reply.
