A referee is a faculty member with whom you have studied and is able to assess your potential for graduate level study and research. References from non-academic supervisors may be accepted in certain cases i.e. professional references or for professional programs. NOTE: References from family members, friends, students, former or current classmates, employees, colleagues and/or Teaching Assistants are not accepted. Contact your referees before you apply online to confirm their availability and their preferred email address. When filling in your online application, you are asked to include email addresses for your referees. NOTE: Valid institutional or organizational email addresses are preferred. Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, etc. are not encouraged and will be verified. After your application is submitted and your application fee is processed, the referees you list in your application will be sent an email asking them to fill in an Applicant Reference Form. A secure link to that form will automatically be provided in this email to each referee. It is your responsibility to follow up with your referees to ensure they have received the email and that they submit the reference before the application deadline. The email is sent from graduate_studies@carleton.ca with the subject line “Carleton Referee for Admission”. Referees may need to check their spam or junk mail folders. If you have listed the same referee for multiple graduate applications at Carleton, they must submit separate references for each program. (an email for each application will be sent)

A CV/Resumé for your application for admission should be a one or two page concise summary of your skills, experience and education.

Your CV/Resumé must be uploaded as a PDF document within your application or in Carleton Central.

Your Statement of Intent allows you to explain your personal interest in the program to which you are applying. It should reference the kind of knowledge you expect to gain from the program and should define the reasons why you chose the program and how it can satisfy your own interests. Your Statement of Intent must be uploaded within your application or as a PDF document in Carleton Central.
