Carleton welcomed over 2,000 first year students who participated in the &#8220;Best 2% of the Year&#8221; with a full year of programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fall Orientation is a week of engaging programming for new students designed and hosted by the Student Experience Office in conjunction with our campus partners and student groups including CUSA, RRRA, SBSS, and SciSoc . By participating in Fall Orientation, undergraduate students will have the ability to become familiar with the Carleton community and participate in exciting activities. Fall Orientation provides for a successful transition into university and fosters new relationships among participants before the start of classes. Participants will benefit from meeting and interacting with student volunteers who can guide first-year undergraduate students in the right direction based on their experiences.<br><br>Last year&#8217;s program was highlighted with an exclusive on-campus concert headlined by <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fallorientation\/2025\/elijah-woods-announced-for-fall-orientation-close-out-concert\/\">Elijah Woods<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fallorientation\/programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Program Info<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions, please email&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:fallorientation@carleton.ca\">fallorientation@carleton.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"program-description-and-mission\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Program Description and Mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fall Orientation provides incoming undergraduate students with the opportunity to enjoy fun activities, meet new friends, and the skills necessary to help transition to university life at Carleton University.
