Helping Carleton families stay informed and connected: the Parent/Family Gateway

25 March 2025
By Adam Webster '00, Director of Admissions

Now that your student is officially a Carl (!), one of the first places you should check out is the Parent/Family Gateway. Think of it as your one-stop shop for anytime you have a question and you’re wondering who you or your student should contact (besides the very helpful advice from other parents and students); this is probably a good place to start.

The Gateway has links to many different campus offices, policies, calendars, and resources. (Another pro tip if you can’t find what you need: try Googling “Carleton” and a key word or phrase, i.e. “dining services.”) We try to give parents and families ways to stay connected to what’s happening on campus through a regular email newsletter and occasional webinars — these are all archived on the Gateway as well.

    In the Parent Gateway I see the tab "Parent/Family Services", but I do not see any link to the "Family Directory." I'd appreciate help finding it.
    Thanks!
