Carleton new student week leader application

New Student Week will take place from Tuesday, September 9 – Sunday, September 14, 2025.

Welcome to Carleton!

We want to help our new students make the transition to Carleton College as smoothly as possible. To guide you on your way, we’ve created this web content specifically for new students. If you still have questions after you’ve read these pages, feel free to contact us for assistance.

Ready to get a sense of what move-in day will look like? Check out the video below from move-in day for the Class of 2027 in September 2023. We can’t promise the same great weather every year… but trust us, it’ll be wonderful!
