Fall Orientation Programs
Carleton University offers four dynamic Fall Orientation programs:
- Centralized Fall Orientation: open to all new incoming Carleton students
- Sprosh: specialized orientation program for new incoming Sprott School of Business students
- SciFrosh: specialized orientation program for new incoming Faculty of Science students
- EngFrosh: specialized orientation program for new incoming Faculty of Engineering and Design students.

By participating in Fall Orientation students have the ability to become familiar with the campus, participate in exciting activities, and build connections before classes begin.
All four programs include a Ravens Starter Kit featuring Carleton spirit wear and study essentials including a Ravens hoodie and much more! Additional “ADD-ON” items can be purchased with your registration.
