Registration deadlines are firm. Students can withdraw from courses in Carleton Central until the withdrawal deadlines. A financial withdrawal will result in a fee reimbursement and no registration record on your transcript. Courses dropped after the financial withdrawal deadline, until the academic withdrawal deadline, will result in a WDN notation appearing on your student record, and fees will not be reimbursed. Once the academic withdrawal deadline has passed a course cannot be dropped.

* Late-term registration will be open in Carleton Central until this date. From this date until the first day of term, registration can be done through the Manual Registration Request form found on the Online MBA Registration page. This form will be activated the day after Carleton Central closes registration.
