Id like to take a course (science, engineering or CSE) at another university and have it count towards my degree. What should I do?
A course taken at another university will be counted towards your degree if and only if you are granted advanced standing in that course. Rather than take the course then apply for advanced standing, you should try to establish equivalency between the courses beforehand. This prevents taking the course and not getting advanced standing. Since a request for advanced standing is evaluated by the department offering the course at Carleton, you should contact the Carleton department offering the course you are targeting and ask them what would be required to establish equivalency of the two courses. The department may or may not offer this service. For ELEC courses, you are responsible for identifying a course that you think is equivalent to one at Carleton and assembling sufficient information to allow the comparison to be made (which would include the course outline as well as assignments, labs and sample exams obviously this material will have to be acquired from the other university).
