Welcome to Pre-Registration!

An exciting part of starting your journey at Carleton is registering for your first term! You’ll be placed into an Argument & Inquiry seminar by our office (be sure to submit your selections by August 1) and then you will register for your remaining courses online. Incoming first-year student initial registration runs from August 12th to August 22nd, so be sure to view your registration appointment to know what date and time you will register!

We know initial registration can be daunting. You may be wondering: “how do I know which classes to take?” or “how do I actually register?” The below steps will guide you through the process. You’ll begin with advice and guidelines on how to build your schedule. Next, you’ll be given the tools to explore Carleton’s courses. Third, you will prepare your account for the registration process and finally, you will get to register! You will meet with your Liberal Arts Adviser on campus during New Student Week to discuss your course selections and make any revisions that might be needed.
