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.

All Carleton degree programs require students to achieve and maintain minimum averages for Good Academic Standing. For more information on Carleton’s Academic Continuation Evaluation and how it applies to you, please consult the University Undergraduate Calendar.

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.

We have prepared a quick video to help you understand your first year course selection guide.
