Welcome to Carleton and your Bachelor of Information Technology degree program

First Year Course Selection Guide

Please read this degree guide prior to registering.

Your Degree Program

All Bachelor of Information Technology programs are designed to promote innovation and are structured around applied problem-solving. Support courses are organized around hands-on courses where students apply knowledge to the resolution of problems of increasing complexity. All four programs are designed to change and evolve as technologies advance. Students graduate with a strong theoretical grounding, complemented by practical knowledge in their discipline.

Co-op

Students’ development as Network, Multimedia, Optical Systems and Sensors, or Information Resource specialists can be further enhanced by combining academic studies with hands-on practice. First-hand experience in the field, as well as contacts in industry, can be gained through participation in the BIT co-op option. Normally co-op students complete at least three work terms — the first beginning in 3^rd year winter.

All BIT students who meet the co-op academic requirements are eligible to participate in the co-op program. Undergraduate student co-op applications are submitted via mySuccess (from your Carleton Central account) for those students who were not admitted to Carleton with the co-op option.

Where do I go throughout the year for program information?

The School of Information Technology office is located at 230 Azrieli Pavilion or contact an advisor by email at csit-ug-advising@cunet.carleton.ca.

Courses Required for First Year

The following tables provide a list of first-year courses for BIT students. Please consult the Undergraduate Calendar and/or the BIT website (BITdegree.ca) for more information. Many of your courses are already preselected as part of your assigned block registration. Electives (IMD & NET only) and courses to be used towards the fulfillment of a minor (IRM) are not included in your block registration. If you are an IMD or NET student you must select your electives and register for them yourself. Students should consult BITdegree.ca for a list of approved elective courses.  IRM students are required to incorporate a minor of their choice as part of their program. There are no electives in the IRM program. It is advised that students declare their minor before registering in the appropriate courses required to complete their first year timetable.  Course requirements in the minor can be found in the Undergraduate Calendar.

How do I Register for my pre-selected courses?

Each course is assigned a unique identifier called the Course Reference Number (CRN). Each CRN should appear in the Add Class table at the bottom of the “Add or Drop Classes” page on your timetable worksheet. To register, simply click the submit button.  You should not delete or substitute any of the CRNs that are preselected for you without consulting with the School of Information Technology.
