The first year of university can be a big adjustment. Many students arrive unsure of what’s expected or how to manage their time, academic workload and new independence.
To help ease that transition, Carleton offers Academic Prep: How to Be a University Student, a one-week, non-credit summer course running Monday, August 18 to Friday, August 22, 2025. This course is designed to build the habits, skills and confidence students need to thrive.

Revised Sexual Violence Policy
Following a broad and inclusive consultation process with the Carleton community, the Board of Governors has approved the revised Carleton University Sexual Violence Policy. The updated policy is now available on the Secretariat website.
This revised policy represents one of many ongoing initiatives to prevent and address sexual violence on our campus. We received thoughtful input regarding training, resources, communication and support. This feedback has been shared with Equity and Inclusive Communities and the Sexual Violence Prevention and Education Committee to inform updates to the university’s broader sexual violence prevention strategy.
