Free electives give you the opportunity to explore other areas of interest and use these credits to satisfy the requirements of additional program elements such as a Minor, Concentration, and\/or Stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All program requirements are <a href=\"https:\/\/calendar.carleton.ca\/undergrad\/undergradprograms\/business\/#Bachelor_of_Accounting__Honours\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">outlined in the Undergraduate Calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"before-you-register\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before You Register<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Read through this guide before registering in your first-year courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to register in both Fall and Winter term courses as soon as your registration time-ticket opens \u2013 do not wait to add your Winter term courses as they will fill up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students typically register in 5.0 credits in the academic year \u2013 this includes 2.5 credits in the Fall term and 2.5 credits in the Winter term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wish to take a reduced course load, you should seek academic advising to understand the potential impact on progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many first-year courses will have multiple sections &#8211; read through the Section Information of each course on ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Central to identify the appropriate section for you to register in. For example, BUSI 1800 will have sections reserved for business students and other sections open to students in non- Business programs. As a B.Com student you must register in a section reserved for Business students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When registering for courses with tutorial sections, be sure to register in both a lecture section, and a corresponding tutorial section. Typically, a lecture section will have a letter listed next to it (i.e., BUSI 1800 A), while a corresponding tutorial section will have both a letter, and a number next to it (i.e., BUSI 1800 A01) \u2013 you must register in both!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please <a href=\"https:\/\/sprott.carleton.ca\/current-students\/undergraduate-students\/academic-advising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contact your Sprott Program Advisors<\/a> to discuss your individualized plan or if you have any questions about your course registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"b-com-first-year-course-selection\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">B.Com First Year Course Selection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> BUSI 1800: Introduction to Business (0.5 credit)<br>When:\u00a0Fall term.<br>Notes:\u00a0BUSI 1800 is a prerequisite for BUSI 1011 \u2013 this means that BUSI 1800 must be successfully completed in the Fall term to continue with BUSI 1011 in the Winter term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.
