Can I take courses at other universities and have them count towards my degree at Carleton?

Courses can be completed at other universities and count towards a degree in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology providing there is support from the temporary advisor or supervisor prior to registration. To take elective courses at the University of Ottawa, please fill in a copy of the Graduate Exchange Form available from the Graduate Studies website. This form needs to be signed by both the Department and Graduate Studies.

Courses at universities outside Ottawa can be taken with special permission from the temporary advisor/supervisor and the Graduate Coordinator. In order to fulfill Carleton University residency requirements, you must take at least 60 percent of your courses (4 of 6 or 5 of 8) at Carleton.
