Graduate courses completed at another institution or at Carleton University may be accepted in partial fulfilment of Carleton's degree requirements.
Credit for such work will be determined in each case by the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, on the recommendation of the department concerned. Master's candidates in a five-course program are allowed a maximum of two transferred full-course credits. In addition, if a master's candidate is granted transfer of credit for two full courses, his/her remaining three courses at Carleton must be at the 500 level.
Master's candidates in a ten-course program are allowed a maximum of four transferred full-course credits. In addition, if a master's candidate is granted transfer of credit for four full courses, his/her remaining six courses at Carleton must be at the 500 level.
Doctoral candidates may be given up to one year's credit for work completed at other universities, but must normally register for a minimum of one year of full-time studies thereafter at Carleton, and fulfil the thesis and comprehensive examination requirements. Students admitted with transfer of credits in a Ph.D. program may be required to pass a qualifying examination upon entry.
A candidate who has completed courses as a special student is not normally permitted to transfer such courses for degree credit in the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research.
Special students enrolled in a graduate level course are subject to the Special Student regulations outlined in the undergraduate calendar.
