What is a billing hour?

For undergraduate students, the billing hours for a particular course are usually equal to the academic credit value for the course. Some exceptions include thesis/research work and certain intensive language courses. To see a summary of your billing and academic credit values, view the Add/Drop page on Carleton Central.

How do I calculate my fees?

If you know the number of billing hours you plan to take, use the appropriate amount above and multiply it by the number of billing hours. Remember that the amount quoted above is for 1.0 billing hours. Once you are registered, you can select ‘Calculate Amount to Pay’ on Carleton Central to view your total account balance.

Co-op Fees
