erinmclaughlin — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:47:56 +0000

We would like to remind you that, if you have received an offer of admission from Carleton University and have yet to confirm, the deadline for Ontario secondary school students to respond to their offer of admission is Friday, June 1, 2012. Please follow the steps in your Offer of Admission package on how to respond. Once you have accepted your offer, you should:

1. Accept your Offer of Residence Accommodation

If you received a first year guaranteed offer of residence and would like to reserve your place, you must:

accept your offer of admission to Carleton University
pay the $700.00 residence deposit by 4:30 p.m. (ET) on June 7, 2012
complete the Residence Information Form

Please note: if you wish to accept your residence offer, you must first accept the offer of admission to Carleton University.

The acceptance of your offer of admission to the University must be received by Carleton before you can complete the Residence Information Form. For this reason we recommend that you leave a day or two in between the time you accept your offer of admission and the time you attempt to pay your housing deposit. Visit the Department of Housing and Conference Services website for more information.

2. Keep an eye out for your Registration Information

Once you accept your offer of admission, we will send you registration information near the end of May. Visit the Registration website for registration instructions and class schedules.

All newly admitted students should attend Summer Orientation in June, July or August. This comprehensive orientation program is designed to help students begin a successful university career. Visit the Student Experience Office website for more information and to register.
