Note to students applying to a new degree program:

In 2010, the Senate of the University revised the regulation for the recognition of high academic achievement upon graduation for all students admitted Fall 2010 and beyond. This means that if you are admitted to your degree program, you will be subject to this revised regulation when you apply to graduate. In order to be eligible for recognition of high academic achievement, the regulation states that students must present at least 10.0 credits taken at Carleton University and a minimum overall CGPA equal to or greater than 10.40 for High Distinction or an overall CGPA less than 10.40 but equal to or greater than 9.80 for Distinction. For some students who are changing degrees, this may mean different CGPA requirements than you may currently require under your program in order to be eligible for recognition of high academic achievement. For specific information on eligibility requirements, please refer to section 8.4 of the Academic Regulations of the University in the undergraduate calendar.
