Online MBA Registration
Before initial registration can occur, please ensure you have met all conditions on your offer of admission by providing original and official documents identified on your Statement of Standing on Admission.
Registration
Registration for Summer term (Summer 1 and Summer 2) is now open.
Registration is done in Carleton Central. Registration steps (including how-to videos) can be found on the Registration page.
Due to the short 7-week timeline of the Online MBA courses, registration into courses must take place by the first day of each part of term. Term dates can be found on the main page.
Students can drop courses in Carleton Central until the drop deadlines (check dates and deadlines). Registration deadlines are firm. A financial drop will result in a fee reimbursement and no registration record on your transcript. Courses dropped after the financial drop deadline, until the academic drop deadline, will result in a WDN notation appearing on your student record, and will not be reimbursed. Once the academic drop deadline has passed a course cannot be dropped.
Students should register for both parts of term at the same time (i.e. when registering for Fall, include all courses for Fall 1 and Fall 2).
Course Selection
Refer to the course map based on your term of admission, student status, and concentration. The course map will help you determine which courses to register in to meet your program requirements.
Online MBA courses will always be sections V or T (ie ACCT 5001V).
Electives may be chosen from any MBA concentration course as long as: you meet any prerequisites; and it is not a core or concentration course which already appears on your course map. The Course Offerings page will list available courses and any pre-requisites.
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. It is available to take in every part of term and can be taken at any point in the program.
Student Status
Full-time students have a 2.5 credit registration limit per FULL term*.
Part-time students who were admitted prior to Fall 2026 have a 1.25 credit registration limit per FULL term. Part-time students who were admitted in Fall 2026 or later have a 0.75 credit registration limit per FULL term.
*A full term is each 4-month term: Fall (Sept-Dec), Winter (Jan-Apr), and Summer (May-Aug). Each full term consists of two parts of term (ie Fall term consists of Fall 1 and Fall 2)
Students may register in less credits than their limit in any given term.
MBA Orientation
Once you are registered, you will have access to the Sprott Online MBA Orientation modules in Brightspace. This module provides important information about how the program operates, including key policies, expectations, and resources that will help you succeed in your MBA. Please review the materials in the orientation module as soon as possible after registering for your first course.
As part of the orientation, there is a mandatory Orientation Quiz that must be completed with a score of 100%.
Fee Payment
- Pay your tuition by the payment deadline each term to avoid penalties or late fees.
- Tuition is charged per credit; miscellaneous fees are charged based on student status (full or part-time)
- Tuition is charged per FULL term (Fall, Winter Summer). Make sure you are registered in both parts of term to avoid financial penalties for late registration/payment.
- Please visit the Student Accounts website for more details: https://carleton.ca/studentaccounts/tuition-fees/online-gr-fees/
Students who begin the program in the second part of a term may see a late fee automatically applied. This will be waived once fees are paid.
