Important Notice:
The Faculty of Graduate Studies announces that post-residency status and fee rates associated with post-residency have been eliminated, effective May 1, 1996, for admitted students (that is, those students admitted and registered after May 1, 1996).

Subject to the approval of the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies, the following categories of international graduate students are exempt from the international students' fee indicated above, and will instead be assessed the regular tuition fee: Note: A dependent of a person includes his/her spouse; unmarried child; or spouse's unmarried child. The dependent status must be fully documented and must have been established a minimum of three years before the student's application for exemption.
Graduate students who were previously exempted, and whose basis of exemption has changed due to circumstances beyond their control, should also contact the Faculty of Graduate Studies Office so that an assessment can be made to determine if their exemption would continue.
Full-time and part-time fees are payable in full, by term. Winter-term courses registered for in September are payable on or before January 15.
Scholarships, bursaries, and loans administered by the University will be applied first to fees, provided that this is not contrary to the terms of the award.
Personal cheques will be accepted for the payment of accounts, but the University reserves the right to cancel this policy if it is abused. A service charge of $12.50 will be assessed for each cheque returned to the University as non-negotiable for any reason. Students are requested to provide their own cheques when making payments. Any payment returned to the University as non-negotiable must be replaced before the first day for late registration (see Academic Schedule, page 10) or the late registration charge will apply (refer to Late Registration Charge, page 41).
A statement of tuition fees paid will be available for income tax purposes and will be mailed by the end of February. Students will be charged $15.00 in advance for each duplicate tax certificate requested.
Registration will not be complete until satisfactory arrangements have been made for the payment of fees; registration may be cancelled should the student fail to meet these arrangements.
If a student owes the University any money at the end of an academic session, his/her account becomes delinquent.
Students with delinquent accounts will not have access to examination results, official transcripts, or duplicate diplomas and will not be permitted to register again until all monies have been paid in full by cash or certified cheque.
The University reserves the right to use any method of collection deemed necessary to reclaim monies owing, including collection agencies or legal action.
Students who withdraw from a course, courses, or entirely from the University, are required to do so using the Touchtone Telephone Registration System, or to notify in writing the office of the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies. The effective date of withdrawal is the date recorded by the Touchtone Telephone Registration System or the date written notice is received in the Office of the Dean. Fee adjustments are calculated solely on the basis of the effective date of withdrawal/change.
Fees are assessed and adjusted weekly, as of Fridays at midnight, if the total number of credits or the status (full-time/part-time) for a term changes. If the total number of credits or status remains unchanged by Friday midnight, even if several changes were made during the week, no fee adjustment occurs.
The accident/sickness insurance and dental plan fees will apply whenever a student's status is assessed at the full-time rate. For complete withdrawals, these fees will be included in the full fee adjustment up to midnight Friday, September 5, 1997. For complete withdrawals or changes to part-time status after September 5, 1997, only the accident/sickness insurance can be rebated by contacting the C.U.S.A. office before October 1, 1997.
Late registration charges are non-refundable.
The following schedule applies to all categories of fees. A registration charge or percentage adjustment to the assessed composite tuition and compulsory miscellaneous fees will be made according to the following schedule. Note that course loads are assessed as of midnight Friday each week during the term.
If the fee adjustment allows for a credit, it will be applied to the student's account, and any amounts owing at that time will be deducted before a refund cheque is prepared. Students are advised to inquire at the Business Office about fee adjustments and implications before making changes.
All persons 60 years of age and over as of the last day for late registration may register in degree-credit courses and have their tuition fees waived. The charge to these students is a $2.50 per term registration fee.
The late registration charge applies when payment arrangements over the phone or in person are made on the first day of classes or later, or when a registration payment is returned to the University as non-negotiable and is not replaced before the first day for late registration (see Academic Schedule, page 10) or when mail-in or bank payments are received in the Business Office on the first day of classes or later. The late registration charge is non-refundable.

To cover administrative costs, the charge for each appeal is $50, which is refundable if the appeal is successful.
To cover administrative costs, a non-refundable charge of $35 (Cdn. or U.S. funds) is required with each application.
A charge of $20 will be assessed for the replacement of student identification cards. Returning students will be requested to pay this amount at registration in the event that the student's card is not available for validation. The identification card remains the property of Carleton University and it may be cancelled or withheld at the discretion of the University.
Each student is eligible to receive one free transcript at graduation. All other transcript requests will be processed after payment is made (in advance) to the Business Office, at the rate of $8 per transcript. Mailing address: Transcript Clerk, Room 405, Robertson Hall, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, K1S 5B6.
An extra charge per transcript will be added to offset the cost of faxing transcripts at the request of students as follows: Ontario $3.25, rest of Canada $5.25, outside Canada $8.50.
Students who fail to observe continuous registration requirements must apply for reinstatement if they wish to continue their studies. If reinstated, students must pay a reinstatement charge which consists of $50 plus the equivalent of the prevailing 1.0 credit tuition fees for each term in which they failed to register.
Exemption from Registration/
Leave of Absence Students may request a leave of absence from their program
in accordance with the terms set out in Section 8.5 of the General Regulations.
A charge of $50 per term for leave of absence must accompany each request.
Students may request an extension of time beyond the normal time limits required to complete their program as set out in Section 13.5 of the General Regulations. A charge of $50 for each term of extension beyond the normal time limit must accompany each request.
Diplomas are issued at the time of graduation or are mailed to students who are unable to attend Convocation ceremonies. Students who require a replacement diploma due to loss or damage of their original diploma may order a Display Diploma by contacting the Office of Admissions and Academic Records, Room 405, Robertson Hall, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Canada, K1S 5B6. The charge for a Display Diploma is $80 (unframed), $140 (framed).
At each convocation, the University makes available to graduating students the appropriate academic regalia. The regalia will be available at a time and location to be announced in advance.
A charge of $30 applies to all graduands who attend Convocation. This charge is intended to help defray the costs associated with the event, including the provision of gowns and hoods and the rental of facilities. Payment of this charge must be made, by cash or cheque, at the time graduating students collect their gowns and hoods.
* Students admitted to Social Work prior to Fall 1995 and students admitted effective Fall 1997 will be required to pay full fees in the first and second year of full-time study. Fees for the School of Social Work may vary slightly.
** This amount includes the compulsory insurance fee of $42.80 and the dental plan amount of $176.20. For students registering in January for their first term, there is no dental plan; therefore, the total composite fee for that term is the amount shown less $176.20. For students registering in May for their first term, there is no dental plan or insurance coverage; therefore, the total composite fee for that term is the amount shown less $219.00.
*** Theses, Research Essays, or equivalents are equated to 1.0
† The student accident/sickness insurance coverage is based on a one-year period from September 1 to August 31. The insurance fee is payable once a year, at registration in September or January. Students registering solely for the summer term will not pay the insurance fee and will not receive coverage; however, those summer students previously registered in the fall or winter term will continue to receive coverage over the summer. For information on obtaining family coverage, for part-time students, and refunds for those already covered elsewhere, please go to the C.U.S.A. office, Room 401 Unicentre, before October 1 (or February 1 for January registration).
‡ The dental plan fee is assessed to full-time students in September for a one-year period. Students starting in January or May are not assessed this fee and therefore are not automatically covered by the plan. For further information on obtaining family coverage, coverage for part-time students, and refunds for those already covered elsewhere, please contact the Graduate Students Association, 600 Unicentre, prior to October 1. Students beginning their studies in the Winter term may join the dental plan prior to February 1 by contacting the Graduate Students' Association.
