University is often the first big step towards managing finances for students, and it will be important to support and help your student in understanding and discovering ways to help fund their university experience. Your student may also be interested in finding part-time employment during their years at university. Carleton’s Awards and Financial Aid office offers various resources to aid with budgets, scholarships, tuition and fees, other methods of financial aid and more.
Directing your student to the appropriate paperwork is an important way to support your student during their time at Carleton. Carleton University is committed to protecting the privacy of all students. To that end, the Carleton University Privacy Office seeks to encourage the implementation of the privacy provisions of Ontario’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) within the university.
