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
