Welcome!
Though the start of the academic year is still a few months away, you’re now officially a part of Carleton's online community.
By this time, you should have received the Technology at Carleton document in the first of your summer mailings. The front page of that document contains your Carleton username, which is yours for life. It also contains your initial temporary password. These credentials give you full access to Carleton’s online resources including the campus directory, library databases, the events calendar, residence hall information and more.
This page provides links to many useful resources for learning about Carleton’s technology environment, including an overview of personal technology at Carleton, advice and recommendations regarding personal computers, campus networking, tech support services for students, and more.
