The winter break is a great time to relax and regroup for the remainder of the term. With midterms coming up, it’s important to prioritize both your coursework and your wellness. Carleton has many resources to help you stay on track, from academic support and employability to wellness.
During the winter break, the university is closed on Monday, February 17, 2025 for the Family Day holiday. While classes are paused from Tuesday, February 18 to Friday, February 21, 2025, campus will remain open.
Academic Support
The Centre for Student Academic Support (CSAS) continues to offer one-on-one Learning Support and Writing Consultation Sessions, as well as online Learning and Writing Support Workshops on Brightspace throughout the winter break.
During one-on-one Learning Support Sessions and Writing Consultation Sessions, students can discuss strategies such as time management, managing procrastination and building academic writing skills. Book an in-person or a virtual Learning or Writing Session via mySuccess (log into Carleton360 through the Current Students website).
Preparing for Employment
Getting a head-start on job searches and networking can benefit you greatly in the long run. Carleton’s Co-op and Career Services departments are here to support you every step of the way.
Co-op students can land jobs throughout the term via the job board on mySuccess (log into Carleton360 through the Current Students website) as well as through a self-directed job search.
The team also provides comprehensive job search support for Carleton students and alumni, including networking help, tips on submitting strong applications and strategies to interview successfully.
Check out the Career Services website for upcoming employability events, job search resources and more.
Looking After Your Wellness
The break is a great time to check in on your mental health and there are many resources to support you. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed or seeking a little extra support, Carleton students have access to a wide variety of services.
If you’re not sure where to start, students can access the Wellness Services Navigator, a tool which will anonymously connect you with a curated list of mental health and wellness resources. After answering a series of questions about your circumstances and concerns, the navigator will suggest resources on campus and in the community tailored to you.
Make sure you’re also taking care of your body – eating healthy, taking the time to exercise and drinking enough water. Carleton Athletics offers fitness classes, personal training and fitness centre workouts to support your physical wellness.
Have a wonderful break, Ravens!
