Financing your Studies

The Awards Office offers advice on various financial assistance options and administers financial aid programs. For information on the costs associated with a university education, Carleton’s generous scholarship and bursary program, government and emergency loans or our work-study program, go to carleton.ca/awards.

Information for students admitted with an English as a Second Language (ESL) Requirement

Students with a language test score in the mid-range listed in the ESL admissions chart may have an offer of admission that includes an English language requirement. Students admitted with an English language requirement will begin studies in their degree program, with the requirement that they complete designated foundation ESL courses in their first terms of study. Successful completion of the appropriate ESL credits will fulfil the English language requirement.

If you have been admitted with an ESL requirement, you should check your offer package in Carleton 360 to view the level of your ESL placement.

Information for International Students

We’re thrilled to welcome you to the Carleton community! Be sure to read your offer package carefully, and note any conditions like final documents required and how to maintain your offer. Follow instructions on how to accept your offer. You should also apply for your study permit as soon as you have your offer (you can do this with a conditional offer of admission).

In addition to university wide fall orientation, international students also register in I-Start, the free, online orientation for international students. The International Student Services Office also offers guidance on travel and arrival, as well as supporting your transition to Carleton.
