If no spaces are available to you, that course will appear as \u201cFull\u201d in Carleton Central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Space may become available later on.&nbsp; For courses that are currently full, you may be able to join a waitlist. If the course section has a waitlist enabled, the word \u201cwaitlist\u201d (e.g. Join Waitlist) will be displayed within the search results. By joining the waitlist, you are placing yourself in a queue for the next available space in the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/registration\/waitlisting\/\">visit our waitlisting page<\/a>.

As such, we recommend that you continue to check the course offerings leading up to the beginning of classes to ensure that the courses and sections you intend on taking will be offered during the same time and in the same location as originally planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"changes-to-registration\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Changes to Registration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Students must make any changes to their initial registration on the web via&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/360.carleton.ca\/urd\/sits.urd\/run\/siw_lgn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Carleton Central<\/a>&nbsp;within the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/registration\/academic-dates\/\">po<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/students.carleton.ca\/academic-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sted deadlines<\/a>.
