Engineering Course Access for non-BEng Students
Registration in ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ undergraduate engineering courses (ACSE, AERO, CIVE, ECOR, ELEC, ENVE, MAAE, MECH, MECT, SREE, SYSC) is usually restricted to only students studying in Bachelor of Engineering degree programs.
If you are a ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ student:
If you are a ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ student not in an Engineering program: If you are unable to register for an engineering course required for your program, please submit an Engineering Override Request. Note: all requests will be denied unless the course is required in your current program.
If you are a graduate student in an Engineering program: Contact your graduate advisor, and/or graduate administrator to initiate a request to register in an undergraduate engineering course. An override request is not needed.
If you are an Engineering student from another university:
Please start with your home university to initiate a Letter of Permission (LOP), or University of Ottawa students may be eligible to register for ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ engineering courses via UOttawa Exchange.
Once you have approval from your home university, please follow these steps:
Letter of Permission:
- at ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ University via the Registrar’s Office.
If you have already completed an LOP at ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ and have an active student number, you can skip this step. - Send your signed Letter of Permission form to EngSpecialRequests@carleton.ca to request registration access to an undergraduate engineering course. Ensure that you include your ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ student number in your email.
ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´-uOttawa Exchange:
- Contact the Registrar’s Office via email to initiate your request – include your signed UOttawa Exchange form and your transcript when you submit your request.
Deadlines for submitting LOP and UO exchange requests – the following deadlines will be upheld to ensure sufficient processing time in advance of the term starting:
- Requests related to SUMMER Term Courses – April 15
- Requests related to FALL Term Courses – August 15
- Requests related to WINTER Term Courses – December 15
Once we receive all required documentation, your request will be reviewed – if approved, you will receive permission to register. Note: all approvals are subject to course capacities.
