If you have outstanding fees for the fall term, access to your fall final grades will be withheld until the university receives payment.

Academic Continuation Evaluation

Students will be assessed under the Academic Continuation Evaluation (ACE) process in mid-January 2025 based on fall 2024 results, and decisions will be posted by Monday, January 27, 2025. This academic evaluation assessment happens each term. Students will receive their first evaluation after having completed 5.5 Carleton credits, and subsequently each term thereafter provided they have completed at least one course in the term of evaluation.
