If it's past the deadline but I still want to apply to be a facilitator, can I still apply


Please contact us at fallorientation@carleton.ca for more information.

When is the volunteer training?

Fall Orientation volunteers must complete training in the spring (April) and in the late summer (August/September).  Dates to be announced and communicated to volunteers.


Is Volunteer Training mandatory?


Yes. All training sessions are mandatory for all volunteer positions.

How do I get my Police Record Check?


To ensure a safe environment, all volunteers must obtain a Police Record Check (PRC) consisting of Level 3 – Vulnerable  Sector Check. All volunteers must submit their police record check to the Student Experience Office through the PRC Website.

How long does a police record check take to process?


The time varies depending on how busy the police stations are, we strongly recommend all volunteers to get their police record checks done by beginning to mid- June in order to have their Police Record Checks ready by end of August.

When is Fall Orientation Week?


The Centralized, Sprosh, and SciFrosh Fall Orientation week runs from Sunday, September 4 to Friday, September 9, 2022. The EngFrosh Orientation week runs from Sunday, September 4 to Sunday September 11, 2022.

What are the different Fall Orientation Programs?


Centralized Fall Orientation is the largest program. It is open to all students in every program, and it caters to over 2,500 students. Sprosh Fall Orientation is geared towards new students entering the Sprott School of Business. Engfrosh Fall Orientation is geared towards new students entering Engineering, Architecture, Industrial Design and Information Technology. However, it should be noted that during the week there are some programming that overlaps between the three orientations. Please review our program information page to learn more.

What are my responsibilities throughout the week?


Different position descriptions are posted online here. Furthermore, all volunteers are under a contract during the week. This contract will be reviewed in detail as part of this year’s training.

What is Shinerama?


Shinerama is an organization founded in the 1960s to help raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis (CF). CF is a genetic disease that causes thick mucus to build up in the pancreas and the lungs and there is no cure. Every year, our program integrates Shinerama throughout the summer before and well into the Fall Orientation week to support the fight against cystic fibrosis and foster a community of service at Carleton. Check out the Shinerama page or email us at Shinerama@carleton.ca to learn more and get involved!
