Course Availability

Carleton University attempts to make courses available to all students for registration; however, there are some factors which may restrict the course availability.

• Applicants are encouraged to view the course offerings on the Public Class Schedule.
• Degree students are given priority within the course registration system.
• Some courses are restricted to degree students only, such as:
  • First-year seminars
  • Journalism, Engineering, Architecture, Business, Industrial Design
• These restrictions will be indicated in the course description.
• Some undergraduate and all graduate courses require the permission of the department or individual instructor.
• If you wish to eventually take a degree program note the specific Faculty requirements for Special and Mature entrants in the undergraduate Calendar.
• Those who have not completed an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent may need to update their qualifications by enrolling in courses at the Qualifying-University year level.
• Please contact the Admissions Office for any questions on admission to degree or certificate programs.
