Summer Orientation

Summer Orientation is a program designed for new students and their parent(s) or guardian(s). Each one-day session during the summer period (July-August) is designed to promote your academic success and individual development. Orientation is the first step in your transition to Carleton University and we strongly encourage all first year students and their parent(s) or guardian(s) to actively participate in the program. Our informative presentations, small-group activities, academic advising and support with class registration will help every first-year student enter university informed and confident.
