In addition, summer sessions are half the length of fall and winter terms, so summer courses are condensed to fit in the same content over a shorter period. Due to the nature of this schedule, students taking 1.0 credits in these sessions often have a similar workload to full time students in the fall or winter semesters. For these reasons, the Carleton University Students\u2019 Association (CUSA) requested this requirement be included in the summer U-Pass referendum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have concerns regarding eligibility requirements of the Summer U-Pass, please connect directly with your respective student association.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_description_type":[26],"class_list":["post-1039","cu_description","type-cu_description","status-publish","hentry","cu_description_type-general-faq"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/upass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_description\/1039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/upass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_description"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/upass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_description"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/upass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/upass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_description\/1039\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/upass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_description_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/upass\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_description_type?post=1039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
