Admission Requirements

Academics

To be eligible for admission to the first year of either program under the Bachelor of Information Technology (in Network Technology or Interactive Multimedia and Design), an applicant must have: The Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent including a minimum of six 4U or 4M courses. Equivalent courses may be substituted between the OAC and new curriculum courses.

The six 4U or 4M credits must include:
  • 1 x 4U English (ENG4U*)
  • 1 x 4U or 4M Science Credit
  • 1 x 4U Math Credit
    • (Advanced Functions [MHF4U], Calculus & Vectors [MCV4U], Mathematics of Data Management [MDM4U])
  • 3 x 4U or 4M additional credits

Due to recent changes in the entrance requirements, just approved by the university governing body, students can now be admitted into either program with any of the following mathematics (Advanced Functions [MHF4U], Calculus & Vectors [MCV4U], Mathematics of Data Management [MDM4U]). This will may not be reflected in brochures or the admission system until mid-2010, but students can still apply at this time.

Note (*): This is the Ontario Secondary School Diploma requirement, each province has their own codes (e.g. the Quebec equivalent for MHF4U is Linear Algebra 1 and MCV4U is Calculus 1) for more information see the admission requirements

Portfolio

The Interactive Multimedia and Design also requires a Portfolio

Admissions & Tuition Fees

Admission into either program, the tuition fees, etc are handled by Carleton University. If you need further information related to these topics it is best to contact them directly

Missing Credits?

If you are missing the credits necessary to enter either the Network Technology or the Interactive Multimedia and Design Program here are several ways you can make up for missing credits:

  • On-line Schools - there are several on-line schools (or E-Schools) that can provide you with the necessary course material and credits in order to make up for missing credits. The following E-Schools have been recognised as providing the necessary credits (other e-schools may also be valid, please check with undergraduate recruitment liaison@carleton.ca)

  • Summer School - if you are missing a few credits, there is the possibility submit your application with a letter stating your missing credits and that you are in the process of completing these courses over the summer - your acceptance within either program will be dependant on you obtaining these missing credits over the summer. Carleton University does offer summer courses to make up two mathematics credits; MATH0007 (Calculus) MATH0107 (Algebra)

Coop Program

If you are planning to take the Cooperative Education Program (Coop), the entrance requirement is 70% and a CGPA of 8.0 (B) to continue on the Coop program; however you can register for coop after you have started in your respective program
