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.

Change Your Password!

The password you were sent is a temporary password only, and should be changed as soon as possible. It's considered less secure because it's not something that you chose yourself, and it was printed on a document. If you have not already done so, please visit the password reset page below and set a new, strong password known only to you.

When you change your password, you will be asked if you want to activate DUO 2-Factor authentication. This will be required by the start of the term, however for the summer it remains optional. If you do choose to set it up early, please be sure to set up backup codes for your account at the same time.

This is all a normal part of the technology world (even if it is sometimes frustrating). We have resources to help you with all of these things and more, including for the following most common issues.




Carleton Network Resources

We live in a connected world, and when we can't connect, we tend to get a little twitchy. The articles linked below will give you overview of the network environment at Carleton, and what you can expect in terms of connectivity for all your devices.
