Bachelor of Architectural Studies Degree Program

The BAS degree is awarded upon successful completion of the four-year program of studies. This is the first of two degrees required in the training of a professional architect, but alone, does not constitute a professional degree. Students who wish to pursue professional architectural training are required to complete their studies with the two-year M.Arch. program at Carleton, or equivalent professional training at another university. A minimum B- average in the BAS program is required to apply to the M.Arch. Professional program at Carleton (see Admission Requirements in the Graduate Calendar) and most other graduate university programs.

Like the profession of Architecture, the educational program can be rigorous in its dual demands of academic production and design creativity. It is recommended that full-time students do not engage in employment during the Fall/Winter session.

The curriculum at Carleton provides the student with the theoretical, technical, and formal knowledge and skills necessary for creative and responsible intervention in the built environment. In order to investigate and generate project proposals, the architect should be endowed with a range of sensibilities that emerge as synthetic vision in the design studio. The program has two components relating to this: a mandatory core that provides the essential knowledge and experience; and a series of elective courses, becoming more extensive in the upper years, that allow students to develop their own areas of architectural interest.

The Bachelor of Architectural Studies degree has been designed so that the degree, in tandem with a two year program (M.Arch. "Professional" Stream), is considered equivalent to Carleton's previous undergraduate architecture program (B.Arch.) by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board as a prerequisite to certification and registration to practise as an architect in provincial associations - subject to assessment of each applicant's record. Information concerning mandatory work experience and other requirements for registration may be obtained from the professional associations of the provinces of Canada.

The resources of the Ottawa area, including those of Carleton University, are unique in their concentration of specialized personnel, laboratories, libraries, and other facilities. They provide the opportunity and capability for a wide range of multidisciplinary academic and research programs in such fields as architecture, housing, urban studies, industrialized building, and the history and theory of architecture.

Thematic Major B.A.(Honours) and B.A. Degrees in History and Theory of Architecture

The School of Architecture cooperates with the School for Studies in Art and Culture in offering a Thematic Major B.A.(Honours) and B.A. degrees in History and Theory of Architecture.

Academic Clubs and Societies

The Carleton School of Architecture Association of Students (CSAAS) organizes special events several times a year, and is a focus for student discussion.

Instructional Television

Instructional Television offers an alternative mode of access to courses offered at Carleton University. Your learning experience at Carleton University may include a mix of on-campus and television courses. 

Program Requirements

In 1998-99, the School introduced a revised curriculum to address ongoing changes in the practice of Architecture. Students who entered First Year of the program in 1998-99 or later will be registered in the Bachelor of Architectural Studies (non-professional) degree program and are subject to the revised Program Requirements below. Upon completion of the B.A.S. program, students wishing to obtain a professional degree would apply to continue into a two-year professional Master of Architecture program.

Students who entered First Year prior to 1998-99, or students who transferred into Fourth Year or above of the Architecture program in 2000-2001 will be registered in the B.Arch. degree program and are subject to the old Program Requirements as listed in the 1997-98 Undergraduate Calendar. (Copies are available from the School's Office.)

Regulations

The following regulations apply to all students enrolled in the B.A.S. program. Students are urged to seek the advice of their instructors on all questions about the regulations, and in particular before taking any action affecting promotion and probation, withdrawal, transfer of credit, appeals and review of grades.

The undergraduate Architecture program was revised in 1992 and again in 1998. Students admitted in 1998 or later follow the program as it appears in this Calendar. Students admitted prior to 1998 will normally follow the Calendar of the date of their entry into the program.

Student Responsibility

The student is responsible for knowing the regulations of the School of Architecture and for complying with them. Any exceptions to the regulations must be approved in writing by the School of Architecture Committee on Standing, Promotion and Awards (CSPA).

Exceptions to the Regulations

Regulations may be waived for academic, medical or compassionate reasons. The CSPA is responsible to the Architecture Faculty Board for considering students' requests for special consideration regarding the regulations. Requests should be made in writing to the Chair of that committee.

Admission and Readmission Requirements

First Year

To be eligible for admission to the First year of the Bachelor of Architectural Studies program, the applicant must have the OSSD or equivalent with six OAC's, including Physics and either Calculus or Algebra/Geometry with an average of 70 percent or better or have completed the Qualifying-University year at Carleton University with a GPA of 4.0 completed over 5.0 credits and grades of C- or better in Mathematics and Physics.

Refer to the section on Admissions in the general regulations of the Calendar for additional admission information.

Selective Admission

It should be noted that the number of student spaces in the School is limited. Because of this, it may not be possible to grant admission to all applicants who meet the foregoing requirements. Admission will therefore be on a selective basis with preference given to those candidates who show the highest promise of success in the program through a portfolio of creative work, and academic grades. Members of the Admissions Committee of the School of Architecture are available by appointment during the academic year to answer enquiries regarding the School's program.

Advanced Standing

Applications for admission with advanced standing to the First or subsequent years of the Bachelor of Architectural Studies program will be evaluated on an individual basis. Before students apply they should note that although the School may accept previous course work for credit, there is no guarantee that a registration committee such as the Canadian Architectural Certification Board will do so as credit toward professional registration. Advanced standing for academic subjects completed at Carleton or at another university or college may be accepted where a grade of C- or better has been achieved if the courses are recognized as the equivalent of corresponding courses offered at Carleton. Advanced standing will only be recognized upon admission to the School. Applications for advanced standing must be submitted within five working days of the start of the academic term.

Readmission

Students who have been absent from the University for two consecutive full academic years (except students holding a Letter of Permission from the Carleton School of Architecture) are required to apply for readmission before registration.

Former students who have forfeited their undergraduate status must request readmission by writing to the Director of the school and the request must be accompanied by an updated portfolio of work. The decision whether or not to readmit will be made by the Faculty Board at which time their academic standing in the program will be determined by the School of Architecture Committee on Standing, Promotion and Awards (CSPA).

Applications for readmission (obtainable from the Office of Admissions) must be filed before May 1 for the Fall/Winter session.

Proficiency in English

Since the instructional language of the University is English, applicants must be able to understand and be understood in English, both written and oral. Applicants whose mother tongue is other than English must clearly exhibit this ability. 

Registration

Registration

In order to facilitate more effective academic planning for the following school year, students are asked to declare their intention not to continue in the program by July 1.

Students who have been absent from the University for one full Fall/Winter session (September through April) should notify the School by July 1 of their intention to register for the following Fall/Winter session.

Students are to complete their course registration by the registration periods shown for the session or term in the schedule for the Academic Year.

Late Registration

Registration after the registration period incurs a late registration fee. Registration is not permitted after the late registration period.

Course Credit Value

Credit values are indicated against course descriptions. Courses marked * are half-credits, indicated 0.5 on record documents.

Course Load

The program in the School of Architecture is based on an annual course load of 5.0 credits for four years.

Student Records

Incorrect address information will delay the receipt of awards, examination results and changes in academic status. Students must notify the School and the Divisional Registrar's Office immediately of any change in permanent address.

Promotion and Continuation

Standing in Courses

Standing in courses will be determined by the School of Architecture. Standing in courses will be shown by alphabetical grades. 

Other notations are as follows:

Aeg

Pass standing granted under special circumstances. Aegrotat standing is granted only by a faculty committee, in response to a student's application. 

Aud

Indicates course is not being taken for academic credit.

F

Failure. No academic credit.

Abs

Absent from final examination. No academic credit. Abs is usually equated to failure.

Wdn

Withdrawn in good standing. No academic credit.

Def

Indicates that deferral of final grade has been approved by the CSPA. If the Deferred examination is not written, or if the incomplete work is not submitted by the scheduled date, the Def will be replaced by a grade based on the work completed prior to the granting of the deferral. (See also Deferred Final Examinations, p.48.)

Ch

Credit granted under Challenge for Credit policy.

Computation of Averages

The 12-grade-point system is set out in Academic Standing.

GPAs are calculated by dividing the total accumulated grade points by the total credits.

Promotion decisions are based only on courses taken while the student is registered in the Bachelor of Architectural Studies program.

Promotion

Students who achieve the necessary cumulative GPA will be promoted to the next year of the program. In arriving at the cumulative GPA, all grades achieved while registered in the Bachelor of Architectural Studies degree program are averaged.

Design Studio Courses

In each Design Studio course, a grade of C- or better is required for the student to be eligible for promotion to the next Studio level.

All Other Courses

In the combined courses without design studio, a GPA of 3.5 or better is required to be promoted to the next year of the program.

Design Studio Course Sequence

In the first, second, and third year of the program, studio must be taken in sequence. In the fourth year, studios may be taken out of sequence with the permission of the CSPA.

Deficiencies

Students with more than 1.0 credit deficiency are not permitted to register in core courses in the next program year. Core course deficiencies may not be carried for two program years except with the written permission of the CSPA.Students may repeat a studio course only once; failure to obtain the required grade will result in students being required to withdraw from the program.

Withdrawal from the Program

Students who have successfully repeated a studio course, but who receive a grade lower than C- in a subsequent studio course, will be required to withdraw from the program. Students who have been required to withdraw from the program must wait for at least one academic year before applying for readmission to the program.

 

Examinations

General regulations on examinations are in the Academic Standing section.

Review of Grades

Students are entitled to a review of a final grade. Those wishing to receive such a review should enquire at the Registrarial Services office for the Faculty of Engineering and Design, after which they may wish to make a formal application for this review. Applications must be filed with the Registrarial Services office for the Faculty of Engineering and Design according to the application deadlines for each term.

Requests for review of grades in Architecture courses are dealt with by the Director of the School of Architecture. Students will be invited to submit to the Director a written statement presenting the grounds for the Review and their work from the course. This must be received in the Director's Office no later than: February 15th for the Fall term; July 15th for the Winter term; and October 15th for the Summer session. The instructor(s) who awarded the grade will present the rationale for the grade awarded. A Review of Grade Committee will be established by the Director, comprised of faculty from the School who are not directly involved with the grade under review. The Committee shall make recommendations to the Director, with respect to the grading. Changes in grade shall be at the discretion of the Director.

The Review of Grade Committee will be established after the deadline for applications has expired.

Evaluation

To gain standing in a course, a student must meet the course requirements for attendance, term work and examinations. Instructors will inform their classes in writing, before the last date for course changes, of the elements that will contribute to the final grade and their weighting, including attendance, class participation, essays, tests and final examinations.

Retention of Work

Keeping a good portfolio is a most important part of architectural education. A portfolio represents a record of the student's progress and design experience over the years. It is an indispensable requirement for any job application in the future. A portfolio is started in First year and continues to expand until graduation. The School, therefore, requires that each student produce reductions (normally 8 1/2 x 11 inch reproductions, colour or black and white and/or slides) of their work at the end of each term. One copy of the work should be put in the student's portfolio and the other turned in to the instructor for retention in the School's archives. (This facilitates retrospective exhibitions of work, accreditation, publications and any future references for pedagogic purposes.) Original work is the property of the students, but the School retains the right to keep work of merit for up to two years after the date of submission. The School will make every effort to preserve the work in good condition, and will give authorship credit and take care of its proper use.

Graduation Regulations

In order to graduate, students must fulfill all University graduation regulations (see p.48). To meet Section 1 of the School's regulations, a student must have passed the approved pattern of courses and achieved the minimum grade requirements for the Studio program and a GPA of 3.5 or better in non-studio courses.

Students wishing to continue into the professional M.Arch. degree program must have successfully completed the B.A.S. degree program with a GPA of 7.0 or better.

Application to Graduate

Students expecting to graduate in the Spring must make application on the form available in the Divisional Registrar's office by February 1; those expecting to graduate in the Fall by September 1; and those expecting to graduate in February, by December 1.

Degrees with Distinction

Upon recommendation of the School, the notation "With High Distinction" may be made on the academic records of candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Architectural Studies. To be considered for this recommendation, candidates must obtain an overall GPA of 10.0 or better.

Upon recommendation of the School, the notation "With Distinction" may be made on the academic records of candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Architectural Studies. To be considered for this recommendation, candidates must obtain an overall GPA of 9.0 or better.

For transfer students, degrees "With Distinction" and "With High Distinction" will be awarded at the discretion of the Faculty Board.

Scholarships and Awards

The faculty of the School will recommend students to the Senate for scholarships and awards available to the School. For this purpose an overall GPA including the design studio courses will be calculated. The design studio grade, the course GPA or the overall GPA will be used as is most appropriate for the nature of the award.

Special prizes are also given to acknowledge distinguished work.

Students admitted with advanced standing whose GPA may not represent a true measure of their worth will be given individual consideration.

See Awards and Financial Assistance.

Course Requirements

Core Courses

1. Design Studios

The heart of the architectural program is the design studio. Design projects are the primary learning vehicle, supported by lectures, seminars, and tutorials. The most valuable aspect of the Studio program is its emphasis on creative architectural thinking driven by conditions and by issues embedded in the life experiences of individuals. Individual sensibilities, however, must be integrated with site and environmental conditions, human factors, building technologies, the architect's professional obligations to society, and with the conventions of architectural practice. The essence of the design studio is the resolution of these often conflicting demands.

Design Studio courses are 1.0 credit in the First year and 1.5 credits per term in the Second, Third and Fourth years. Design Studio courses are taught through lectures, seminars, and individual tutorial instruction. They require more individual work than is indicated by the scheduled contact time. Enrollment is restricted to students admitted to the Architecture program.

Studio Critiques are indispensable, and integral to nearly all architectural programs. Critiques are the form in which discussions of architecture become concrete and specific, around work actually completed. They provide an opportunity for students to explain intentions and to judge intentions against the interpretations of guests, faculty, and other students.

Summer Studio

A Design Studio course may be offered during the summer session. This studio is available to full-time students registered in the B.A.S. degree program. It is not available to First-year students seeking Second-year credit. Summer Studio may not be audited.

2. Core Courses

Core courses are the mandatory part of the program, providing the required academic and professional foundation for studies in architecture. While more extensive in the lower years, they extend across the entire program and are as designated in the course charts, and in the description of courses offered. Enrollment in core courses may be limited by constraints of space and other resources. When necessary, preference will be given to students registering in the Architecture program and the Architecture/Art History combined program.

Note: Prerequisites to core courses may not be waived except on appeal to the CSPA and with special permission of the Faculty Board.

3. Elective Courses

Elective courses fall under two categories: "Free Electives" (which may be chosen from among courses offered for credit within degree programs in the University, including undesignated elective offerings in the School), and "Designated Electives" (chosen from among designated offerings in the School). Designated electives fall into two categories: Workshops and Theory/History Electives.

To satisfy Free Elective requirements in the Bachelor of Architectural Studies program, the School will recognize any successfully-completed university-level course considered acceptable by Carleton University. Free Electives are noted as "electives" in the charts..

Designated Electives

1. Workshops

Workshop courses are offered through the School of Architecture. They are scheduled for six hours a week, divided between seminars and individual work, including tutoring. Workshop enrollments are limited.

2. Theory/History Electives

Theory/History Electives are offered through the School of Architecture. They are intended to develop a broad, historical understanding of theoretical issues and debates in the making of architecture. A minimum of 1.5 credits of Theory/History Electives are required.

In addition to the Theory/History electives included among the Architecture course offerings, the following courses will be accepted:

Art History

11.302* Canadian Architecture

11.305* American Architecture

11.369* Modern Architecture: The Twentieth Century

11.480* Topics in Architectural History

 

Course Program

The program of study is outlined in the following charts and detailed course descriptions appear on p.116, and listed under "Courses and Workshops."

All programs are subject to change according to the final availability of resources at the time of registration.

Student Initiated Study Abroad

Applications for Student Initiated Study Abroad programs (which include studio courses) will be considered for credit on a case by case basis by the CSPA. Students must present full, comprehensive, and detailed information (in English) for the courses and program proposed. The deadline for applications is February 1. In order to be eligible to take design studio courses students must have completed the previous program year with clear standing and have achieved a cumulative GPA of 7.0 or better in all studio courses previously taken at Carleton. Students wishing to study abroad in their Fourth year should participate in the School's Directed Studies Abroad programs. Students who are accepted into Student Initiated Studies Abroad programs must obtain a letter of permission from the CSPA before registering at the host institution.

Directed Studies Abroad

When circumstances allow, the School will undertake a Directed Studies Abroad option for groups of 15 or more students who are enrolled in the Fall term of the Fourth year of the BAS program or Fifth year of the B.Arch program. The School may support the proposal for a Directed Studies Abroad program, but if the participation list falls to a group of fewer than 12 students, the School will cancel the program. Notification of such program cancellation will be made as soon as possible after the decision has been taken.

This study takes place in a location away from Ottawa and usually outside Canada. The location is selected for its architectural and urban relevance, and is carried out under the direction of a faculty member of the School.

The Directed Studies Abroad option is available to students with clear standing to the Fourth year of the program and permission of the School. Academic standing will be determined on the basis of the grades achieved by the end of the examination period of the Winter term of Third year. Participation lists, including wait lists, for all Directed Study Abroad programs will be determined according to the standing that students have achieved at that date, irrespective of work, they may choose to undertake over the Summer session. Those who achieve clear standing after the Winter term deadline will be accommodated, with the permission of the School, where space is available.

Independent Study

A student enrolled in the Bachelor of Architectural Studies program may propose, and may be permitted to undertake, an independent study in lieu of an elective or workshop elective course for a total of 0.5 credit.

The purpose of this provision is to allow more flexibility for students to pursue a line of investigation in their own way, free of normal constraints of timetable and University locale. The independent study at the undergraduate level is to make no demands on University faculty other than those required for approval and evaluation.

In certain cases, with the approval of the department in which they are registered, students enrolled in another program at the University may be permitted to enroll in an independent study course under the direction of a member of the faculty of the School. The procedures and conditions will be detailed and approved jointly by the student, the department and the assessor in the school.

Serious scholarship and research are expected and proper documentation will be required. In the case of students in Architecture, registration for the study will be subject to the following conditions:

1. The student must have no deficiencies in core courses from an earlier year.

2. The student will register for an independent study course in the term or session during which the work is to be completed. The student must submit the proposal in writing to the assessor prior to registration, outlining the objectives and direction of the study, the time and locale, resources available, submission date and other pertinent information.

3. The student must have obtained the prior agreement of a member of the teaching staff to act as assessor for the study. The student must also obtain the Director's approval of the proposal prior to registering in the course. The staff member will be responsible for evaluation. The student's assessor will deliver the completed and approved proposal to the Records office of the School of Architecture to be filed with the student's course records.

Co-operative Architecture Program

General information on Co-op programs can be found in the Co-operative Education section.

Students in the Bachelor of Architectural Studies (B.A.S.) program have the opportunity to enroll in a Co-operative Architecture Program option (co-op) option. Students admitted to this program option must satisfy the normal requirements for graduation in the B.A.S. program and , in addition, the graduation requirements specific to the co-op option. See p. 38.

The program is based on the principle that professional career preparation is best served by integrating work experience with academic study. The experience will expose students to the practical issues of professional practice. This practical experience is not a substitute for, but will complement academic studies.

Operation of the Co-op Option

The Co-op program structure is summarized in the following table:

 

 Precise start and completion dates are set in consultation with the employer.

Students electing to have co-op option designation on their transcript must participate in a minimum of three work terms, at least two of which are consecutive, with each work term having a nominal duration of four months. Students may choose any combination of work terms. The co-op option will likely extend the academic program by one year. It should be noted that Canadian architectural registration boards recognize that co-op experience after year three, can be counted against the internship requirement for registration.

Admission Requirements and Registration Information

Students satisfying the following conditions will be considered admissible to the co-op option subject to a satisfactory interview with the School. The School's interview is an essential component of the admission process and students must demonstrate a mature professional attitude to successfully enter the co-op option. The requirements are as follows:

Students must

a)     have obtained and maintained a cumulative GPA of 7.0 in their B.A.S. program courses;

b) be registered as a full-time student;

c) be eligible to work in Canada;

d) have successfully completed an interview with the School.

Students must apply to the option by the first week of the winter term preceding their first work term. Eligibility will be determined on the basis of the cumulative GPA of the preceding terms.

Note that meeting the above requirements only establishes eligibility for admission to the program. The prevailing job market may limit enrollment in the co-op option.

 

CAP Work Term Fee

Fees will be in accordance with the Co-op Office fee structure.

Employment

Although every effort is made to find a sufficient number of placements for all students admitted to the co-op option, no guarantee of employment can be made. The employment process is competitive, and academic performance, skills, motivation, maturity, attitude and potential, will determine whether a student is offered a job.

Registration During Work Terms

Students in the co-op option must be registered as full-time students in the Bachelor of Architectural Studies program in all academic terms of the co-op option. While on work terms students must be registered in one of the following report courses.

79.101* Work Term 1

79.201* Work Term 2

79.301* Work Term 3

79.401* Work Term 4

79.491* Work Term 5

These courses carry no academic course credit. Work term credits are noted on the academic record.

Assessment of Work Terms

The student must submit a satisfactory work term report and receive a satisfactory evaluation from the employer to achieve successful completion of a work term. A grade of Sat or Uns for the work-term course will be assigned by the Co-op faculty advisor. A grade of Uns will not affect a student's academic progress, but will normally result in the student being required to withdraw from the co-op option. Normally the report(s) will take the form of a progress report. Employers may require other reports from students as part of their job requirements.

Continuation in the Co-op Option

Once admitted to the co-op option students must:

• maintain full-time status in each study term,
• meet the academic standards required to continue in the co-op option,
• achieve successful completion of work terms,
• accept positions which have been awarded,
• attend all pre-arranged interviews with employers,
• pay the work term fee by the appropriate due date.

Students who fail to meet any of these requirements may be required to withdraw from the co-op option.

Students who are required to withdraw from the co-op option will be eligible to continue in the BAS program provided they meet the minimum program continuation requirements.

Appeals

The Co-op Program Administrator administers the regulations and procedures applicable to the Co-op option. The administrator will report any instances of a student failing to report to a placement or being required to withdraw from the co-op option for any reason, to the School's Standings Promotion and Awards Committee for final decision. A letter of the decision will notify the student. The decision may be appealed through the normal appeal channels of the University.

 Degree Designation

Graduates successfully completing the requirements for graduation of the co-op program will receive a "BAS (Co-op Education Option)" degree designation.

 

General Information

Materials, Supplies and Field Trips

The program in Architecture, particularly the design studio courses, requires that the student produce large quantities of drawings and models, as well as black line prints and photostats, and requires use of other photographic media, reproductions of drawings, reports, etc., all of which can be costly.

Equipment for drawing, photography, etc. should be regarded as an investment, because good tools are essential and last a long time if properly cared for. An equipment list is provided as a guide to the entering student. A good quality 35mm. camera is a very useful but not mandatory item on the list and most students find they use it to such an extent that they wish to purchase one during the first year or two of the program.

Field trips to other cities are frequently a part of the program. While these field trips are intended to enhance the area of study, all trips are voluntary and are not considered to be mandatory to meet the requirements of the area of study.

Experience indicates that the student should budget about $1,500 for materials, equipment and field trips per year, not including a camera.

 

B.A.S. Program

 

 

B.Arch. Program

The First , Second, Third, and Fourth year program of the B.Arch. degree have been phased out. The B.Arch. program will be replaced by the B.A.S. program (see above).

 

 

 Courses and Workshops

Not all of the following courses are offered in a given year. For an up-to-date statement of course offerings for 2001-2002, please consult the Registration Instructions and Class Schedule booklet published in the summer.
