The union says wages are a major bargaining issue.
Carleton University says it is disappointed that the two sides were unable to reach tentative agreements before the strike began.
It says the university remains open and all non-CUPE 4600 staff are required to work as usual.
The union says its members teach about 30 per cent of courses at Carleton University.
