Admission Criteria & Eligibility

Academic performance in your previous studies is the main determining factor for admission to Carleton’s undergraduate degree programs.
Secondary school (high school) graduation is the typical minimum level of study to be considered for admission to the first year of an undergraduate program at Carleton University. This is your ‘basis of admission’. The university recognizes and accepts national qualifications from most countries. Secondary education should normally consist of a minimum of 12 years of study. For some countries, where the secondary system is fewer than 12 years, applicants may be required to have completed one year of university study. If you apply while studies are in progress, you may submit your most recent grades to be reviewed for a conditional offer.
