Is the Bridging Program for me?

The Bridging Program is for mature applicants who would like to earn admission to a Bachelor of Arts degree at Carleton University.

Be sure to consult the Bridging Program Coordinator to determine your eligibility as a mature applicant.

You are a mature applicant if you:

1. are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada; and
2. you have not attended a college or university as full-time student; and
3. you have been away from full-time studies for at least two calendar years; and
4. you do not meet the normal admission requirements (as published in the Undergraduate Calendar).

• You must disclose all previous college and university studies before you register.
• Some college and university programs may not be recognized by Carleton. For example, if you studied in a one-year certificate program or at a career college, you may still be able to take Bridging.
• Since the language of instruction at Carleton University is English, a written and oral command of English is necessary. Proof of English Language Proficiency may be required.
