CRCJ 1000 is a half-credit course which means it is completed in one term. Therefore, if you register for it in the Fall term, you do NOT need to register for it in the winter term. Similarly, if you register for it in the winter term, you do not need to register for it in the fall term.

For returning Second, Third and Fourth-year students: you are not required to take this course. If you make a change to your program, and it appears on your audit as a required course, please contact the Institute.

charlottebradley — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 19:55:11 +0000

If you have completed the research methods courses for your concentration (LAWS 2908/3908, PSYC 3000 or SOCI 2001/2002) and your Major CGPA is about 10.0, you are eligible to do CRCJ 4908 next year. If you are interested and haven’t done so already, we would strongly advise you to secure a faculty member from Law, Psychology or Sociology to be your Honours Research Project supervisor. Once you have a faculty supervisor and know the topic of your paper, email this information to sandy_rochon@carleton.ca) or Norah Kielland (norah_kielland@carleton.ca). We will then enter Departmental Permission onto the system to allow you to register for CRCJ 4908.If your Major CGPA is not about 10.0 and you haven’t completed CRCJ 3000, then you might still be eligible to do CRCJ 4908. In this case, please contact Prof. Joanna Pozzulo (Joanna_Pozzulo@carleton.ca) for permission.
If you are not interested in doing CRCJ 4908, then you will be required to do 1.0 credit (or two half-credits) in approved CCJ Electives at the 4000-level.

New Students

charlottebradley — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:00:39 +0000

If you are a “new” student to Carleton you may want to stop by the office C562 Loeb. or make an in-person advising appointment with our office. If you are a “new transfer” student you should contact our office immediately upon receipt of your acceptance, this should be done before the registration period begins. All students should consult with our office if you do not understand the statement written in the Carleton Calendar or on your academic audit about the MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CCJ ELECTIVES ALLOWED! – call 613-520-2588 or 613-520-2600 ext. 3767!

Also, check with the Institute if you are thinking of switching from between a BA Honours to BA General degree. There are slightly different requirements including fewer CCJ Electives allowed at the General level. We want to ensure that you meet degree requirements or don’t exceed the maximum number of CCJ Electives; both of which could jeopardize your graduation.
