Important information about Fall Open House!

Here are some tips to help you make the most of your day on campus:

  • Arriving on campus: Increased traffic
    In addition to Fall Open House, Carleton will also be hosting Convocation ceremonies on campus on November 4. It’s going to be a busy day and we expect increased pedestrian and vehicle traffic on campus. Please give yourself significant time to get on to campus and park your vehicle. We recommend using Bronson Avenue to enter campus and follow the parking signage for Fall Open House.
  • Parking
    Parking for the event is complimentary, however, you must register your vehicle. All the information you need to register your vehicle on the day of the event (any time after 8:00 a.m. ET on November 4) is available in the Parking Information document which can be found attached to your registration confirmation email and in your Carleton360 registration details.  To access this document in Carleton360, click on 360 Future > Events > My Registered Events > Fall Open House and scroll to ‘Your Event Documents’. When you arrive on campus, please park in any spot in P18, P6 or P7.
  • Attend your registered session(s)
    Be sure to have our online agenda nearby (either on your mobile device or bring a printout of the agenda from our website) for session times and locations. Our helpful staff will be available across the campus to help get you to where you need to go. Don’t forget to check out our Carleton campus map to help you navigate your way around campus.While on campus, make sure to check out our Student Services Fair, enjoy a discounted lunch and take a campus tour!
