Registration Steps
The Registrar’s Office has created step-by-step guides to registration to help you through the process of planning and building your schedule to ensure a successful registration. These guides have also be made into brief, helpful videos as well.
First Year Course Selection Guides
Each degree program at Carleton University has a unique set of courses for you to take in your first year. Be sure to consult your guide before registration begins.
If you are arriving at Carleton with credits on admission from previous studies, you will choose your courses from the guide associated with your degree program. You will be able to register for the next level of courses in some areas because you already have credit for the prerequisite courses.
Block Registration
If your program is within the Faculty of Engineering and Design (BAS, BEng, BID, BIT) you will find that many (or all) of your courses are preselected for you. This is called Block Registration, and we have a page dedicated to providing you with more information.
