5.0 Admission and Residency Regulations 5.1 Transfer of Credit Prior to Admission
Letter of Permission Students who have been formally admitted to a degree or certificate program may take courses at other universities on Letters of Permission, and have the credits transferred to their Carleton programs. The following conditions must be met: a) the student must have completed successfully at least 4.0
credits at Carleton University; Grades for successfully completed courses taken on Letters of Permission and Exchange (not including the University of Ottawa Exchange) will not be transferred, but the courses will be counted as attempts. A course taken on Letter of Permission and failed is counted as a discredit. A higher level of performance may be required in a course that would have contributed to any programmatic CGPA had the grade been transferred. Such a course with a passing grade below the minimum required will not count towards the degree, but will be counted as an attempt. University of Ottawa Exchange Agreement Degree Students may register to take courses at the University of Ottawa to be credited to their Carleton University degree. The following regulations apply: a) Students must be registered in a degree program and
must be in good standing. In the case of first-year
studies, a
maximum of two
half-credit
courses may be taken at the University of Ottawa that
year. Students should consult the Registar's Office for application forms and information on procedures and deadlines. Students withdrawing from exchange agreement courses must notify the Registar's Office by the appropriate deadlines, or a grade of Abs or F may be recorded. There may be financial implications. International Exchange Agreements Undergraduate students may be eligible to take advantage of other exchange agreements with universities throughout the world. For details on these exchanges, students should consult with the Registar's Office and the Office of Carleton International at least one year in advance of the proposed exchange. 5.3
Minimum Number of Carleton Credits (Residency credits) 5.3.1 Residency Credits To be eligible for graduation with a Carleton degree, certificate or diploma, each student must present a certain number of credits earned at Carleton University which have not been presented to fulfil any degree that has been previously awarded including a degree or degrees at Carleton University. These are referred to as residency credits. Courses taken under the University of Ottawa Exchange Agreement do not count as residency credits. All degree students must present a minimum of 5.0 residency credits at graduation. Due to accreditation requirements, the minimum number of residency credits for students in the Faculty of Engineering and Design is half of the total number of credits required in the program. To obtain an undergraduate certificate from Carleton University, students must present residency credits including a minimum of 4.0 credits taken at Carleton. 5.3.2 Advanced Credits The credits presented at graduation that are credits completed at Carleton after admission, credits completed at Carleton within the last ten years for which advanced standing has been granted and credits completed as part of the University of Ottawa Exchange or another formal domestic or international Exchange, must include:
