Welcome and Welcome Back!

Whether you need help reaching your academic goals or managing your finances, want to get a head start on your career, are looking for ways to get involved or want to better manage your mental health and wellness, we’re here to help.

Ask Me Campaign

It’s normal to have questions when you first begin your studies at Carleton – or when you start a new year! To help you get the answers you need, and to welcome you (back) to the Carleton community, we’ve launched our annual Ask Me campaign. Ask any staff, faculty or student leader sporting a red Ask Me button questions you have about starting the term.
