What is an auditing student?
Not all students want to study for credit. Some are interested in attending a course simply for interest. Visit the Undergraduate Calendar for more details.
Registration Tools
There are a number of tools available to help you through the registration process.
Dates and Deadlines
Always be mindful of the academic dates and deadlines for each academic term.
Registration Steps
All registration for courses is done through Carleton Central. There are 4 steps to registration which must be completed in order to ensure your successful registration.
Waitlisting
While we strive to provide students with access to courses, factors such as room size can limit the number of spaces available in a course. For courses that are currently full, you may be able to join a waitlist.
Registration Override Request
When attempting to add a course, you may encounter a registration error. This happens when you do not meet the registration criteria set out by the department.
Course Delivery Types
Course sections may be offered in-person, online or as a combination of in-person and online activities. The delivery type for each course will appear in the “Section Information” listing in Carleton Central.
