Visit Carleton this fall

Carleton College will host an open house - Falling for Carleton - on Thursday and Friday, October 16 and 17, 2008.

What to do during your visit

Design your day on campus. Visit a couple of classes, have lunch with current students, and talk with faculty members. Take a tour of the campus, sit in on an information session, and, if you would like, request an interview with a member of the admissions staff. (There are a limited number of interviews available.)

General information sessions and tours are offered both Thursday and Friday, student/faculty panels will be held on Thursday, and class visits will be available on Friday. Plan to arrive on campus early Friday morning for the best selection of classes.

Register for your visit

You may register online or by calling the Office of Admissions at 800-995-CARL (2275). We ask that you register at least one week prior to the day you plan to attend. However, you may drop in to visit anytime during these fall visit days as well.

After you register, you will receive an email confirmation with a link to a map to help guide you to campus.
