Boost Your Skills and Get Rewarded with FUSION

FUSION is a series of short, self-paced online modules that help you build real-world skills like collaboration, communication and problem solving. Complete just one or as many as you like — choose based on the skills you want to grow and the goals you’re working toward. You'll earn digital badges, Co-Curricular Record credit and can even get $50 on your Campus Card for completing select modules.

Financial vs. Academic Withdrawal

When making registration decisions, ensure you are aware of the separate deadlines for financial and academic withdrawal. You must withdraw from a course in Carleton Central (log in through Carleton360) to cancel your registration. A fee adjustment is dependent on your cancellation falling within the fee deadlines and your course load. Dropping a course after the financial withdrawal deadline means you will not receive a refund and the course will appear on your transcript with a grade of Withdrawn (WDN). 

If you miss the deadline for a financial withdrawal, you may still decide to drop a course to avoid a poor grade on your student record. Refer to the Academic Year Calendar for all important academic dates and deadlines. Visit the Current Students website to learn more about withdrawal deadlines and how they may affect your record.

Rethinking Resilience

Rethinking Resilience is a free, interactive online module for Carleton University students that helps you better understand your stress, build academic resilience and develop real-world skills that employers value through short videos, reflection activities and practical tools.

Complete the module to earn Co-Curricular Record (CCR) credit and boost both your well-being and your resume.
