Regulations

In addition program requirements described in this section, students must satisfy the Academic Regulations of the University, including the process of Academic Performance Evaluation.

Students should consult the College and its Web site when planning their program and selecting courses.

Requirement for Full-Time Study

Students in the Humanities program must complete a minimum of 4.0 credits by the end of the summer session. The College may permit students to study abroad for a year while remaining registered in the program. For those students permitted to study abroad, Carleton credits commensurate to studies taken abroad will be determined by the College and awarded towards the student's degree. In exceptional circumstances (usually financial need or sickness) the College may also permit students to take a leave of absence for one year while remaining registered in the program.

Academic Performance Evaluation for Bachelor of Humanities

Bachelor of Humanities students are evaluated on the basis of their Overall CGPA and their Core CGPA.

Students are in Good Standing if the Overall CGPA at least 7.00 and the Core CGPA at least 7.00.

A student who is not in Good Standing but has Overall CGPA at least 6.00 and Core CGPA at least 6.00 is on Academic Warning.

A student is required to leave the program with the status Continue in Alternate (CA) or the status Dismissed from Program (DP) if:

  1. the student was on Academic Warning and does not achieve Good Standing at the next Academic Performance Evaluation,
    or
  2. the student has Overall CGPA less than 6.00 or Core CGPA less than 6.00 at any Academic Performance Evaluation.
