Exceptional ESLR Period Extension Request Form
[This form, found below, is for students who have not satisfied their ESL Requirements (ESLR) within 1 year]
Students admitted with English as a Second Language Requirements (ESLR) are given one year to satisfy the ESLR. If students have not satisfied the ESLR after the one year period has passed, then their access to registration, in ESLA courses and all university courses, is denied and their studies stop.
-
- Satisfy the ESLR through English language testing, see Section 4, Option 1, in the calendar’s ESLR entry; or
- Receive an automatic ESLR Period Extension (Note: During their first year of study, eligible students must receive an ESLA final grade high enough to advance to the next level of ESLA. All students will be reviewed for eligibility and will automatically receive an extension if eligible); or
- Request and be granted an Exceptional ESLR Period Extension (if not eligible for an automatic extension).
Who should submit a request for an Exceptional ESLR Period Extension?
If you answer “no” to both of the following questions, then please submit a request for an Exceptional ESLR Period Extension using the form below.
Is your ESLR Period Deadline still active?
View your “Administrative Holds” in Carleton Central.
Did you successfully complete one ESLA course level during your first year of study to make you eligible for an automatic ESLR Period Extension?
Note: jumping levels through testing does not count.
If you have any of the following, please submit a request for an Exceptional ESLR Period Extension:
Have you…
already been granted an ESLR Period Extension or Exceptional Extension but did not receive an ESLA final grade high enough to move up a course level?
Have you…
let your extension expire unused?
Have you…
taken a break in study of three or more terms?
NOTE: Forms must be received no later than one (1) week before the start of classes.
If granted, you would be eligible for a one-term extension to study ESLA.
Previous ESLA attempts, final grades, attendance, breaks in study, academic integrity, and special circumstances will be considered.
If you have been away from studies for three (3) terms or longer, you must complete and submit a new, official, English language test result (refer to Section 4, Option 2, in the calendar’s ESLR entry) for your request to be considered.
Exceptional ESLR Extensions are reviewed by the School of Linguistics and Language Studies (SLaLS). Questions about the process can be sent to credit.esla@carleton.ca or called in at 613-520-6612.
