Most CUOL courses are recorded on-campus during a regular class, and the lectures are then made available to local and distance students using a number of different means of access. This means that CUOL classes are as close as possible to being in the classroom – you can listen to classroom discussions, hear questions, and see the lectures just as they are delivered to fellow students. Some CUOL courses are designed to be offered “web-only” through the course website. They normally involve recorded presentations, online activities and assignments, discussion forums and more.
To take a CUOL course, you must be a Carleton Student. To become a Carleton Student in a degree program, see the Admissions website. To become a Special Student (not admitted to a degree program but taking degree-credit courses to qualify for admission, to improve professional qualifications, for transfer credit, or for personal interest), see the Registrar’s website.
Once you are a Carleton student, you register for CUOL classes in Carleton Central.
Tuition fees are the same as for other Carleton University courses (see the fee schedule). Other costs, such as Distance Exams and Video On Demand access , may be incurred if the service is required.
