7.15 Off -Campus Research

In the interest of enriching their learning experience, graduate students may arrange to undertake full -time studies or research at another institution, or in the field. It should be understood that such activity would apply to only a part of the total program, and that the off -campus period would not normally exceed twelve months.

Requests for permission to undertake full -time off -campus study or research must be submitted, well in advance, to the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research through the department concerned. Such requests should include the following information:

a detailed statement of the research proposal or program of studies, and the specific arrangements that are proposed for the supervision and direction of the work

an explanation of the reasons why the work cannot be satisfactorily undertaken while on campus at Carleton University

a description of the studies and/or research facilities that are available at the proposed off -campus location

a written statement from a responsible official (for example, the on -site supervisor or director) of the outside institution confirming that the proposed arrangements are satisfactory and that the candidate will be able to undertake research or studies

a time schedule for the proposed studies or research work

a statement of the candidate's expected sources of financial support
