Co-op Participation Agreement All students must adhere to the policies found within the Co-op Participation Agreement. COOP 1000 Once a student has been admitted to the Co-op Program, they will be given access to register in COOP 1000. This zero-credit online course must be completed at least two terms prior to the student's first work term. Communication with the Co-op Office Students must maintain contact with the Co-op Office during their job search and while on a work term. All email communication will be conducted via the students' Carleton email account. Employment Although every effort is made to ensure a sufficient number of job postings for all Co-op students, no guarantee of employment can be made. The Co-op job search process is competitive, and success is dependent upon factors such as current market conditions, academic performance, skills, motivation, and level of commitment to the job search. It is the student's responsibility to apply for positions via the Co-op job board in addition to actively conducting a self-directed job search. Students who do not obtain a co-op work term are expected to continue with their academic studies. It should be noted that hiring priority for positions within the Federal Government of Canada is given to Canadian citizens. Registration Students must be registered as full-time during all fall and winter study terms beginning the term in which they enroll in COOP 1000. Students will be registered in a Co-op Work Term course while at work. This course does not carry academic course credit, but is noted on academic transcripts. Students may register in a 0.5 credit during a work term, provided the course is offered during the evening or is offered asynchronously online. Students must have at least one term of full-time studies left to complete following their final co-op work term. Students cannot end their degree on a work term. Work Term Assessment and Evaluation Work Term Evaluation Employers are responsible for submitting to Carleton University final performance evaluations for their Co-op students at the end of their work terms. Work Term Assessment In order to successfully complete the co-op work term, students must receive a Satisfactory (SAT) grade on their Co-op Work Term Report, which they must submit at the completion of each four-month work term. Graduation with the Co-op Designation In order to graduate with the Co-op Designation, students must satisfy all requirements of the degree program in addition to the successful completion of three or four work terms (the number is dependent upon the student's academic program). Students found in violation of the Co-op Participation Agreement may have the Co-op Designation withheld. Note: Participation in the co-op option will add up to one additional year for a student to complete their degree program. Voluntary Withdrawal from the Co-op Option Students who are currently on a co-op work term or who have already committed to a co-op work term either verbally or in writing may not leave the position and/or withdraw from the co-op option until they have completed the work term and all related requirements. Involuntary or Required Withdrawal from the Co-op Option Students may be removed from the Co-op Program for any of the following reasons: Failure to achieve a grade of SAT in COOP 1000; Failure to attend all interviews for positions to which the student has applied; Declining more than one job offer during the job search; Reneging on a co-op position that the student has accepted either verbally or in writing; Continuing a job search after accepting a co-op position; Dismissal from a work term by the co-op employer; Leaving a work term without approval from the Co-op Management Team; Receipt of an unsatisfactory work term evaluation; Receiving a grade of UNS on the work term report.

Program Requirements The Type 2 and Type 3 master's level graduate diplomas are designed to serve professional development needs. The Type 2 diploma is for graduate students in other Carleton programs who seek to strengthen or broaden their conceptual and technical skills in curatorial studies. The Type 3 diploma is for individuals who are not currently registered in a Carleton graduate program. Both diplomas have the same requirements and are comprised of 3.0 credits, and are designed to be completed in one year (twelve months). Students may take the program on either a part-time or full-time basis. Cognate Courses: All cognate courses will be determined in collaboration between the student, the Assistant Director of Curatorial Studies, and the Graduate Supervisor of the cognate department. For students with significant disciplinary knowledge, courses from the School of Business may be more appropriate as cognate courses. Graduate Diploma in Curatorial Studies (3.0 credits)
Program Requirements EURUS Language Requirement All candidates in the European and Russian Studies B.A., B.A. Honours and B.A. Combined Honours programs are required to demonstrate proficiency in a major regional language. Language proficiency is defined as the completion of an intermediate level of university language instruction (two years, 2.0 Carleton credits). Students who wish to count a relevant regional language that is not taught at Carleton should consult with and request approval from the Undergraduate Supervisor. Students in the Bachelor of Global and International Studies Specialization or Stream Europe and Russia in the World must complete the BGInS Language requirement in an approved regional language of Europe, Russia, and Eurasia. See the BGInS Language Requirement for details. Students are encouraged to continue with language instruction beyond the intermediate level required for the Institute Language Requirement. Advanced-level regional language courses may be counted towards EURUS degree requirements (see specific program requirements for details). This Institute Language requirement may be fulfilled in one of three ways: Completion of one of the following courses (or equivalent): FREN 1100 ; FREN 1110 ; GERM 2020 ; GERM 2110 ; ITAL 2020 ; ITAL 2110 ; PORT 2110 ; RUSS 2020 ; SPAN 2020 ; SPAN 2110 . Courses at other institutions may also be used to meet the language requirement as long as they are accepted by the Department of French or the School of Linguistics and Language Studies as being equivalent to or at a higher level than the courses listed above. For languages not taught at Carleton, an intermediate level is equal to two full years (2.0 Carleton credit) of university-level language instruction. Certification by the unit offering the relevant language or the Institute that the student has attained a level of language proficiency equivalent to completion of one of the courses above. Proficiency may be demonstrated through documentation. Secondary School Language of Instruction: Students whose secondary school transcripts show that their primary language of instruction in secondary school was a relevant regional language other than English may be exempted from the language requirement. Subject to approval of the Undergraduate Supervisor. European and Russian Studies B.A. Honours (20.0 credits)

Concentrations While one of the program's goals is to provide students with an integrative approach to the entire region, the concentration assures that each student's individual program will retain a particular focus. Europe and Eurasia have become increasingly integrated in terms of theoretical and methodological approaches. However, the two sub-regions covered by the program have distinct histories and legacies along with differing intellectual traditions. Selection of a concentration assures that each student's program will have an adequate level of intellectual coherence. Students studying the post-communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe that are EU member states or candidates for membership may select either concentration, depending on the thematic focus of the student's work. The Institute offers two concentrations that draw systematically from the program's range of courses and expertise. Students are required to pursue one of these concentrations: Russian and Eurasian Studies European and European Union (EU) Studies Russian and Eurasian Studies This concentration involves an interdisciplinary focus on the communist legacy and challenges facing countries in transition, with a geographic scope covering eastern and southeastern Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Caucasus and post-Soviet Central Asia.
