I am really confused about the elective requirements for aerospace engineering first year. I have several questions so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

- The course map has a basic science elective listed for first semester and a complementary studies elective for the winter semester. Can I swap the order of them?

- Is this really the whole list of complementary studies electives that I can take or is there any other options? (https://carleton.ca/engineering-design/wp-content/uploads/sites/63/2026/06/FA26-WN27-CSE-Jun-26.pdf ) I hate social sciences with a passion and none of the courses I am interested in fit into my schedule, are there any other courses I can take to meet the requirement not listed?

- If there is a second year course that say they exclude first years and I put in an override request what would that process look like? I have a 9:30 time slot tomorrow for course selection but if I wait for this override request to get back to me I am concerned that they will say no and by that point all other interesting electives will be taken. Is it even reasonable to try to get into the second year course?

I am genuinely stuck at this point. I cannot find a single second semester complementary studies elective that I have even an ounce of interest in that works with my schedule. Even if you anyone could recommend non psychology easy courses it would be helpful. Thanks

Confirmed my acceptance about a month ago and I'm going in the fall (completed two years at my previous institution). Does anyone here have experience with the transfer process?

Worried mainly about my audit/registration. I need 8 credits (16 courses) worth of electives for my degree. Currently 3.5 have been evaluated and approved automatically but I have yet to hear back. I have taken 20 courses previously so they all should transfer over at least as electives right?

Does anyone know if it's likely they will approve all my courses based on your own experience with this sort of thing? Do they ever say that some courses don't count, even as electives?

Heyo! Course registration is just around the corner and I haven't really thought about it ever since I read that year 1 students essentially have their courses planned out for them already. However I think I recall reading somewhere that we still need to register for electives?

I just want to know in general how course selection/registration works for year 1, and if there are certain electives I should be picking.

Thanks for the help everyone! Can't wait to see you all at CU.

Hey I’m going into residence next year will I need to bring blankets and sheets?? Or is that included in the room?

What else might i need to bring to residence cuz I know they are fully furnished in theory

Thoughts? Have you ever done or seen a student do it? I know it's not against the rules, but how much trouble would I be in if I got found out? How weirded out would the prof be?

I wanted to try a class but I won't be able to register due to reasons so I was thinking of sitting in to listen/take notes to learn on my own even without the credit

For the combined honours math/comp sci the first year course requirements include 1 credit in science, art or social sciences electives. I’m having trouble figuring out how they determine this. Can I take a business course? Econ? How do I figure out where course like those fall?

I'm considering taking the late summer class with Prof. Salah Aziz, and I was wondering what the syllabus looks like before I sign up.

Hey everyone! My partner had to drop out due to a family issue, so I'm looking for someone who'd be interested in joining me for a summer pickleball league in Ottawa.

I'm 25, pretty easygoing, and play mostly for fun. I have never played before and want to try it out for the first time. The registration fee would be split between u, so if you're interested or want more details about the league, send me a message!

I took 2 early summer courses. I already received my final marks for one of my courses. The other, complete silence. I got a 90% on an assignment and that mark also disappeared with 0/52, I know 100% I got a grade and feedback from it.

The final exam also didn’t get graded in brightspace.

I didn’t commit any academic offences so I’m not worried about that. I just don’t know what’s going on.

No response from prof when I emailed him.

It’s my first time taking summer classes so idk if this is normal. My exam was June 24.

Hi I’m going into ce at Carleton and goin to transfer into CS. I was wondering if there is anything you guys wish you did or missed out on, etc.

Hi everyone I'm a prospective international student applying for graduate program at Carleton University for winter 2027 intake. I'm not able to find how much my tuition fees will be for the entire program (Masters in Information Technology), not able to understand the concept of billing hours, can anyone please explain how much the masters degree will cost at carleton university as an international student, excluding living expenses?

I forgot to pick a residence check-in appointment and I was just wondering... Is it seriously necessary? I mean when I booked it last year it made no difference, lol. I mean sure staff did help with the unloading but I mean I could just find parking somewhere else and do the entire thing myself

im gonna be staying in res (russel if that changes anything) and Id like to bring my bow with me so I can join the archery club + continue to practice. Its a recurve so most of the time i have it de-stringed and stored in a sleave, but because its a weapon i dont know where to store it since weapons arent allowed in res. any suggestions?

need to take a program at CU during that period

I’m having trouble trying to decide between 3 classes to replace PSYC 4003 (guys don’t take it if u have a life outside of readings). The classes I’m looking at are:

PSYC 3405 A (motivation and emotion) prof -TBD
PSYC 2100 A (social psychology) prof- norhan elsaadawy
PSYC 3603 A (psychology of women) prof - TBD

I’m in my 4th year doing a victory Lap to apply to law school so I really just need a class that isnt reading heavy - or has a prof who is an INSANELY HARD MARKER. (They exist)

I was hoping someone who took any of these classes could tell me how hard it was to get the grade you got in the class, it would help me a lot.

Sincerely,
A burnt out 4th year psych student
