Course selection Required eng courses are full

13 Upvotes

In need of guidance. I’m in 2nd year Aero stream C. I can’t make overrides on Central and so I’m directed to the Eng Scheduler, okay sure. Then I’m told overrides cannot be granted for full courses and I’m directed to make an alternate timetable but literally everything is full or reserved. And it’s ridiculous because they’re required courses and there’s only two sections offered. (Looking at you ELEC 2507). Every option the timetable assistant has given me has full labs/lectures. What am I meant to do? I can’t put in an override request because it says they’ll be cancelled anyway. Am I stuck in limbo waiting for a spot?

Question How do I withdraw from the University completely?

4 Upvotes

To keep it as brief as possible, I need to leave Carleton due to struggling academically and relapsing into some previous addictions.

I had previously considered leaving because of financial issues (for which I had posted on here), but I was able to work those out with the Financial Aid Office and also got a job willing to work around my university hours. This time, my reasons are different.

I’m not sure what the proper process is. Do I need to speak with Carleton’s Mental Health Services first since it involves mental health problems, or can I go directly to the Registrar’s Office and request to completely withdraw from the university?

I’ve been told that simply dropping all of my courses means I could still retain student status for a while. At this point, though, I’d prefer to completely end my student status so that everything is final.
If anyone has gone through this process or knows the correct steps, I’d really appreciate the advice. Thanks.

I am starting my first year of Cognitive Science this fall and am curious who else is starting this fall. If you are also an incoming Cognitive Science student at Carleton, feel free to leave a comment or message me.

Also, if there are any upper year students in the Cognitive Science program that have any advice for those of us about to start first year, any suggestions are more than welcome

Question Is university accounting better then college accounting?

0 Upvotes

Hi I just graduated high school and I am taking a gap year as I did not get into my dream program which is dental hygiene at alquinon. Because of this know I don't know if i should try again for that program and if I don't get in take accounting at alquinon.

However I worrie that if i take college accounting I will not land a good job or that its a waste of time as If I were to take college accounting I would try and get my cpa after.

So now I'm wondering if I should just go for uni accounting at Carleton or Ottawa u.

So to anyone who has taken accounting here why did they choose this program? Is this program hard? And to anyone who has graduated from this program what jobs did you get from it and how was ur cpa journey?

Thank you so much to anyone that responds and sorry if this post is a little messy
