Welcome to the winter term—and if you’re new to Carleton, welcome to the community!
The start of the term is always busy and there is plenty to do to prepare for winter term courses, starting on Monday, January 6, 2025. It’s a good time to check your timetable and review your audit (log in through Carleton360 and click myAudit from the important links menu) to ensure you are on-track to meet your program’s requirements. Visit the dates and deadlines webpage to make note of important registration-related dates (including the academic withdrawal deadline, winter break and final exams).
If you’re feeling lost in the start of the term, don’t hesitate to ask questions. Faculty, staff and student leaders wearing red Ask Me buttons and offices displaying Ask Me signs are here to help you with questions you might have about life at Carleton.
Academic Success
There are numerous supports to help you ease back into the study routine:
- The Centre for Student Academic Support (CSAS) offers learning and writing support workshops, writing consultation sessions, Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) and more.
- The Science Student Success Centre (SSSC) supports science students with study groups, mentoring and workshops.
- The Elsie MacGill Learning Centre (EMLC) supports engineering students with academic support and tutoring.
- The Academic Advising Centre can help you understand your audit and ensure you are fulfilling your degree program’s academic requirements.
If you need help with registering or adjusting your winter term courses, the Student Registration Assistance team is available to help from Monday, January 6 until Friday, January 17, 2025.
Supporting Your Wellness
It’s important to care for yourself and your mental health while pursuing your academic goals. The Mental Health and Wellness website has information and resources to help you understand and support your mental health. If you aren’t sure where to start, the Wellness Services Navigator provides a confidential and curated list of mental health and wellness resources to suit your individual circumstances and needs.
Carleton University undergraduate students have access to free, confidential, 24/7 counselling services in the community through Good2Talk. Health and Counselling Services and Wellness Services offer medical care and mental health services.
The Wellness Desk in the library is a space for students to learn about resources, connect with our Wellness Coordinator and decompress during stressful times of the year. The Wellness Desk is overseen by the Wellness Coordinator as well as a team of dedicated student staff. You can pop into the Wellness Desk any time during its hours of operation—no appointments necessary!
