What to do before registration opens

Carleton's new student checklist puts these steps first. Doing them early means a hold or a missing login won't block you when your timeticket opens.

Find your student number: nine digits beginning with 100 or 101, in your admission package.
Set up your MyCarletonOne account. It gives you Carleton email and IT services.
Domestic students should submit a Social Insurance Number in Carleton Central for tax slips. International students can skip this.
Read your program's first-year course selection guide. Each degree has its own list of first-year courses.
Check Step 1 in Carleton Central for your timeticket, program details and any holds.

The four registration steps in Carleton Central

Carleton says to complete these steps in order. Its registration site has how-to videos for each one.

The four registration steps in Carleton Central
Step	What you do
1. Registration status	Confirm your timeticket, program information and holds before your timeticket begins
2. Plan and register	Build draft timetables in the course worksheet, then add courses by CRN when your timeticket opens
3. View your timetable	Check the schedule for everything you registered in
4. View your account	See your fee balance and set up payment

Register for both fall and winter as soon as your timeticket opens. Classes fill quickly.
Architecture, Industrial Design, Information Technology and Engineering students have block registration. Many or all first-year courses are preselected; just submit them. Don't delete or swap a preselected CRN without asking your department.
If a section is full, check for a waitlist. When a spot opens, the first student gets an email and has 24 hours to register. Waitlists close at midnight two days before the term starts.

Using Brightspace

D2L Brightspace is Carleton's online learning space. Instructors use it for course materials, discussions, assignments, quizzes and grades. Go to brightspace.carleton.ca and sign in with your MC1 username and password.

If you're signed in but can't see a course, your instructor may not have made it active yet, or the course hasn't started. Brightspace support is open 24 hours a day, every day, through the Help menu's Brightspace Service Desk. For login problems, contact Carleton's ITS Service Desk.
