Information for Parents and Families

The parents of new Carleton College students often have as many questions as their sons or daughters. We've collected information specifically for parents here.

Parent/Family Gateway
A quick-reference guide to web content of interest to parents, including Carleton calendars, events, visitor information and the Carleton Parents' Email Group.

Family Guide
The Family Guide supports the relationship between parents, student, and the College by providing easy access to helpful information for parents and families.

Parent/Family Resource Questionnaire
Carleton parents and families can be extraordinary resources of knowledge and talent for our students. We invite your participation by completing this online questionnaire.

Parents Advisory Council
Parents serving on the PAC serve a vital role in examining and advising on College programs and procedures.
