Fall Break Resources

Next week is fall break (Mon. Oct. 26 to Fri. Oct. 30, 2026). During this time, no classes will take place, but the university remains open.

A key component of a successful fall break is taking the time to catch up or get ahead on your academics. If you are feeling anxious, stressed or overwhelmed, there is always someone you can talk to. Carleton students have access to a range of wellness, academic and career resources during the break and all year.
