Make note of the courses you think you will like, and those that you are not looking forward to \u2013 kind of like a pro\/con list. Then compare the programs and go with the one you think best aligns with your interests, your strengths, and your goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can change\/declare your specialization on ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Central.

From time to time, we allow students to take courses that are not explicitly listed as approved PAPM courses on the Year-by-Year Guide or in the Undergraduate Calendar. Since these are one-time exceptions, the audit does not automatically recognize this course as an approved course in the program, so it pushes the course into the free electives section of the audit. If you take a course for which an exception has been granted, we ask that you please email us at bpapm@carleton.ca when the course is complete with a final grade appearing on ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Central. We will then submit an exception request to the Registrar\u2019s Office to have the course manually moved to the appropriate place on your audit. <\/p>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-i-am-a-fourth-year-student-planning-to-graduate-how-can-i-make-sure-that-i-have-fulfilled-all-the-program-requirements\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    <strong class=\"myprefix-text-bold\">I am a fourth-year student planning to graduate.

There are several things you need to pay attention to:<br>If you are registered for all the necessary courses to fulfill the program requirements, your audit will state ALL REQUIREMENTS COMPLETED<br><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bpapm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/182\/2026\/03\/image.jpg\" alt=\"All requirements completed\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it doesn\u2019t state this, but you know that you have fulfilled the requirements, your audit may need adjustment. Please reach out to <a href=\"mailto:bpapm@carleton.ca\">bpapm@carleton.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One other reason why your audit may not display this note is that you have not fulfilled the co-op requirement. In this case, please reach out to your co-op advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Please also look at the bottom of your audit, there may be some courses set aside there<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"456\" height=\"102\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bpapm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/182\/2026\/03\/image-1.jpg\" alt=\"Courses set aside\" class=\"wp-image-4786\" style=\"width:997px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bpapm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/182\/2026\/03\/image-1.jpg 456w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/bpapm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/182\/2026\/03\/image-1-320x72.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Some courses are set aside because you have repeated them, some because of the failing grade. However, if you see some courses set aside as excess, you may need to discuss this with the PAPM Academic Advising.<\/p>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-i-have-not-found-my-question-here-how-can-i-reach-the-papm-academic-advising\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    <strong class=\"myprefix-text-bold\">I have not found my question here.
