Generally this will be the last 20 courses, which is the equivalent of half (or two years) of a four year degree.&nbsp; It doesn&#8217;t matter if the university course(s) was taken for degree requirements, it just needs to be a regular university course at the graduate or undergraduate level.&nbsp; If any course in the last 10 credits is without a grade and\/or not used towards GPA calculation at your university (ex: practicums, etc), we will skip over it and continue counting backwards until we reach 10 credits of graded courses.&nbsp; If your last 10 credits includes an F grade, it will be used towards GPA calculation.&nbsp; If you have repeated a course in your last 10 credits, we will use the most recent grade.&nbsp; If you have withdrawn from a course within your last 10 credits, we will skip over it and continue counting backwards until 10 credits.<\/p>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-how-much-will-it-cost-to-attend-the-msw\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    How much will it cost to attend the MSW?\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-how-much-will-it-cost-to-attend-the-msw\">\n            \n\n<p>Cost and Fees are outlined&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/graduate.carleton.ca\/financial-assistance\/cost-and-fees\/\">https:\/\/graduate.carleton.ca\/financial-assistance\/cost-and-fees\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-are-there-any-scholarships-available-for-msw-students\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    Are there any scholarships available for MSW students?\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-are-there-any-scholarships-available-for-msw-students\">\n            \n\n<p><strong><br>\n<\/strong>All successful full-time <em>domestic<\/em> applicants are considered for admissions funding.&nbsp;
