The online Master of Business Administration is divided into 6 terms per year, with each term lasting 7 weeks. While exact term dates vary from year to year, see below for the approximate timing.
While all online MBA courses will run across 7 weeks, some will be worth 0.25 credit and some will be worth 0.5 credit. The workload will be reflective of the credit value.
Online MBA dates and deadlines do not align with all University Calendar dates and deadlines. The following deadlines apply to the Online MBA program:
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.
Registration is done online through Carleton Central. It is your one-stop service for registration, student records, and fee information.

You may choose any MBA concentration course as an elective as long as you: meet any prerequisites; and it is not a core or concentration course which already appears on your course map
All students must register in BUSI 5998: MBA Skills Workshop before the end of their program. BUSI 5998 is a mandatory, non-credit course which includes professional development content and deliverables.
