Undeclared

Undeclared Program Bachelor of Arts (Honours), Bachelor of Science (Honours) Students can find it difficult to decide which thematic or discipline-specific program they want to take for their academic studies. The Undeclared program typically enables students to begin their studies with a broad set of topics to help them narrow their focus and transition into a thematic or discipline-specific program. The recommended course patterns for students are outlined below. Students are expected to apply to enter a thematic or discipline-specific program upon or before completing 3.5 credits, and can meet with an academic advisor at the Academic Advising Centre who will offer support in making this decision. First-year Course Selection for B.A. (Honours) Undeclared Students To give themselves the greatest range of choices and transition to a more specific program, Undeclared B.A. students should consider the following guidelines in selecting their initial courses. Undeclared B.A. students should register in: A B.A. First-year seminar (FYSM); Courses in at least three different disciplines leading to programs within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences or the Faculty of Public and Global Affairs. First-year Course Selection for B.Sc. (Honours) Undeclared Students To give themselves the greatest range of choices and transition to a more specific program, Undeclared B.Sc. students should conform to the following guidelines in selecting their initial courses. Some Science majors have specific math prerequisites which may differ from those listed below. Students must contact sciundecadvising@carleton.ca for support in course selection and major selection. Undeclared B.Sc. students should register in: 1. 2.0 credits in Experimental Science 2.0 2. 1.0 credit in Mathematics 1.0 3. 1.0 credit in Mathematics, Experimental Science or Computer Science 1.0 4. 1.0 credit chosen from: 1.0 ISAP 1000 [0.5] Seminar in Science and/or approved courses outside the faculties of Science and Engineering and Design Total Credits 5.0 Course Categories

B.A. Regulations The regulations presented below apply to all Bachelor of Arts programs. In addition to the requirements presented here, students must satisfy the University regulations common to all undergraduate students including the process of Academic Continuation Evaluation (consult the Academic Regulations of the University section of this Calendar). First-Year Seminars B.A. degree students are strongly encouraged to include a First-Year Seminar (FYSM) during their first 4.0 credits of registration. Students are limited to 1.0 credit in FYSM and can only register in a FYSM while they have first-year standing in their B.A. program. Breadth Requirement Among the credits presented at graduation, students in both the B.A. and the B.A. Honours degrees and B.Co.M.S. are required to include 3.0 breadth credits, which must include 1.0 credit in three of the four breadth areas identified below. Credits that fulfil requirements in the Major, Minor, Concentration, Specialization, or Stream may also be used to fulfil the Breadth Requirement. Students admitted with a completed university degree are exempt from breadth requirements. Students in the following interdisciplinary programs are exempt from the B.A. breadth requirement.

The status "Undeclared" is available only in the B.A. and B.Sc. degrees. Undeclared students must apply to enter a program upon or before completing 3.5 credits. Change of Program Within the B.A. Degree To transfer to a program within the B.A. degree, applicants must normally be Eligible to Continue (EC) in the new program, by meeting the CGPA thresholds described in Section 3.1.9 of the Academic Regulations of the University. Applications to declare or change programs within the B.A. degree online must be made online through Carleton Central by completing a Change of Program Elements (COPE) application form within the published deadlines. Acceptance into a program, or into a program element or option, is subject to any enrollment limitations, as well as specific program, program element, or option requirements as published in the relevant Calendar entry. Minors, Concentrations, and Specializations Students may add a Minor, Concentration, or Specialization by completing a Change of Program Elements (COPE) application form online through Carleton Central. Acceptance into a Minor, Concentration, or Specialization normally requires that the student be Eligible to Continue (EC) and is subject to any specific requirements of the intended Minor, Concentration, or Specialization as published in the relevant Calendar entry and in Section 3.1.9 of the Academic Regulations of the University . Mention : français Students registered in certain B.A. programs may earn the diploma notation Mention : françai s by completing part of their program requirements in French, and by demonstrating knowledge of the history and culture of French Canada. The general requirements are listed below. For more specific details, consult the departmental program entries. Students in a B.A. Honours program must present: 1.0 credit in French language; 1.0 credit devoted to the history and culture of French Canada; 1.0 credit at the 2000- or 3000-level in the Honours discipline taken in French; and 1.0 credit at the 4000-level in the Honours discipline taken in French. Students in a B.A. program must present: 1.0 credit in advanced French; 1.0 credit devoted to the history and culture of French Canada; 1.0 credit at the 2000- or 3000-level in the Major discipline taken in French. Students in Combined Honours programs must fulfil the Mention : françai s requirement in both disciplines. Courses taught in French (Items 3 and 4, above) may be taken at Carleton, at the University of Ottawa on the Exchange Agreement, or at a francophone university on a Letter of Permission. Students planning to take courses on exchange or on a Letter of Permission should take careful note of the residence requirement for a minimum number of Carleton courses in their programs. Consult the Academic Regulations of the University section of this Calendar for information regarding study on exchange or Letter of Permission. B.Sc. Regulations The regulations presented in this section apply to all Bachelor of Science programs. In addition to the requirements presented here, students must satisfy the University regulations common to all undergraduate students including the process of Academic Continuation Evaluation (see the Academic Regulations of the University section of this Calendar). Breadth Requirement for the B.Sc. Students in a Bachelor of Science program must present the following credits at graduation: 2.0 credits in Science Continuation courses not in the major discipline; students completing a double major are considered to have completed this requirement providing they have 2.0 credits in Science Continuation courses in each of the two majors; 2.0 credits in courses outside of the faculties of Science and Engineering and Design (may include ISAP 1000) In most cases, the requirements for individual B.Sc. programs, as stated in this Calendar, contain these requirements, explicitly or implicitly. Students admitted to B.Sc. programs by transfer from another institution must present at graduation (whether taken at Carleton or elsewhere): 2.0 credits in courses outside of the faculties of Science and Engineering and Design (may include ISAP 1000) if the student received fewer than 10.0 transfer credits; or, 1.0 credit in courses outside of the faculties of Science and Engineering and Design (may include ISAP 1000) if the student received 10.0 or more transfer credits. Declared and Undeclared Students Degree students are considered "Undeclared" if they have been admitted to a degree, but have not yet selected and been accepted into a program within that degree. The status "Undeclared" is available only in the B.A. and B.Sc. degrees. Undeclared students must apply to enter a program upon or before completing 3.5 credits. Change of Program within the B.Sc.
