Tuesday, Sept. 9 – Sunday, Sept. 14, 2025

  • Move-in day for first-year students begins at 8:00 a.m. Tuesday, September 9, 2025.
  • Information sessions for Parents & Families on September 9 will conclude at approximately 7:30 p.m.

New Student Week (your first week on campus) will provide an overview of life at Carleton:

  • Meet your roommate and begin making friends
  • Transform your residence hall room into your own personal space
  • Meet your academic adviser and finalize class registration
  • Learn about the many resources, organizations and activities at Carleton
  • Begin to learn your way around campus and the surrounding community
  • Participate in a few Carleton traditions

All of this and more will be yours to experience, so come with your curiosity, energy and willingness to become a part of your new community at Carleton. By the end of New Student Week we hope you have a clear sense of how your own talents and abilities can flourish and grow. With a little effort, you will be prepared to thrive both academically and socially in your first year and beyond.
