State of the Raven - September 3 to September 8, 2024

Welcome and Welcome Back

We’re thrilled to welcome our community (back) to campus! Whether you’re a new student navigating campus for the first time or a soon-to-be graduate returning to a familiar routine, we’re glad to have you here.

If you’re looking for support in reaching your academic goals, managing your finances, getting a head start on your career, finding ways to get involved or managing your personal wellness, visit the Current Students website for more information on resources available to you.

Tips for Success

• Use the Academic Year Calendar for all important dates and deadlines for academic activities.
• Start your school day with Carleton360 (log in through the Current Students website) – single sign on gives you convenient access to Carleton services and learning tools.
• Check your Carleton email (cMail) regularly.
• 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.
• Follow @MyCarletonU on Instagram, Threads and X (formerly Twitter) for news, services, reminders and updates to help you succeed in class and on campus.
• Download or update the Carleton Mobile app on the Apple App Store and Google Play for easy access to your timetable, the campus map and news and events.

U-Pass and Campus Card Combined

This fall, the U-Pass transit pass and the Campus Card are combined.

If your Campus Card was issued before Monday, July 1, 2024, you will add the new transit application to your card at the Campus Card Office in 407 Nideyinàn during office hours. You will be enrolled in the program and your U-Pass will be activated as soon as you meet the eligibility requirements. This process replaces the blue U-Pass card and reloading method.

If you received your Campus Card after Monday, July 1, 2024, the transit application is already on your card. Your U-Pass will be activated automatically.

Wellness Resources

The start of a new term is exciting, but can also bring up feelings of anxiety or stress. If you’re seeking extra support, there is always help available to you.

The Wellness Services Navigator will match you with a curated list of confidential resources on campus and in the community catered to your specific wellness needs. The Mental Health and Wellness website is another great place to start, with resources for mental health, substance use health, spirituality and more.

Upper Year Event Package

Returning students to get in on the back to school fun with the Upper Year Event package. Enjoy a great line up of events, including the Rêve concert, and a classic red Ravens hoodie.

Student Registration Assistance Team

If you are having difficulties with your registration, the Registrar’s Office provides dedicated student registration assistance until registration closes on Tuesday, September 17, 2024. The Student Registration Assistance team is available from Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and can assist with course changes, building a conflict-free timetable, Carleton Central navigation and more.

The Fall Career & Networking Fair Will Host 45+ Employers: Here’s What You Need to Know

The Fall Career & Networking Fair is an opportunity for Carleton students who are job searching or exploring their career options to familiarize themselves with employers from a range of industries.

About State of the Raven Newsletter

The State of the Raven newsletter is Carleton’s official undergraduate student newsletter sent to all students registered in the current term to ensure the consistency, consolidation and simplification of all communications under the Student Communications Policy.

To limit the number of emails students receive from the university, this newsletter collects the latest news, events, key dates, support services and resources from around campus to keep you up to date about what’s going on at Carleton. As the State of the Raven is an official Carleton newsletter, students are unable to unsubscribe.
