Direct enrollment programs in universities abroad and other programs sponsored by academic institutions. Unaffiliated programs do not have standing approval by the College and must be approved on an individual basis, using the green OCS Petition Program Review, in addition to the yellow OCS Petition Student Review. Eligibility Carleton students who are in good academic standing and meet the stated program requirements are eligible to apply for off-campus study. The College looks for assurances that studying off-campus will not interfere with your satisfactory progress toward completion of your degree in 12 terms. OCS programs for Carleton credit are open to sophomores, juniors and seniors, with the exception of first-year students in the Carleton French Seminar in Pau, France.
Language proficiency varies with the program and the level of instruction.
Check with the program. If you participate in a Carleton seminar, you will receive Carleton credits for your off-campus studies program. You may transfer up to 54 non-Carleton credits to your Carleton transcript. Program Cost and Financial Aid Carleton seminars use one term's comprehensive fee to cover most program costs. Affiliated and unaffiliated programs may cost more or less than Carleton's comprehensive fee, depending on their location, duration, and services offered.
