Consult the Graduate Calendar Entry to see the listing of all the OCICS courses with respect to the areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The three required course credits to satisfy the area requirements must be taken from the schedule of OCICS courses. Students can register directly through Carleton Central for all OCICS courses from Carleton and the University of Ottawa.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An Exchange Form (see Graduate Advisor) must be filled out in the exceptional case when a student is allowed to take a course from University of Ottawa, but outside of OCICS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A course cannot be taken to satisfy simultaneously two areas. One course counts for only\u00a0one area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At most, two Fourth Year undergraduate courses may be taken with the permission of the Thesis Supervisor and the Graduate Director. Such permission is not common and must be strongly supported.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Graduate courses are very demanding and typically consist of many time-critical deadlines (Assignments, Projects, Seminars, Exams, Presentations, etc.). Plan carefully.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to select Masters Courses?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":522,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cu_dining_location_slug":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_page_type":[],"class_list":["post-554","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"cu_post_thumbnail":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/scs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/scs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/scs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/scs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/scs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=554"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/scs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/554\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18891,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/scs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/554\/revisions\/18891"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/scs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/scs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_page_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/scs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_page_type?post=554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
