Carleton publishes on-campus residence information through its housing service. International undergraduate applicants entering directly from high school are automatically offered a residence room when they receive an offer by the stated deadline, subject to the university’s current terms. Graduate and post-secondary students should review the separate residence and off-campus housing routes; no universal room price is asserted here.

Carleton’s campus dining service and Ottawa’s wider food network provide options for students with different dietary needs, but availability, opening hours and allergen arrangements change by outlet. Students should use the current campus dining information and ask residence or dining staff about halal, vegetarian, vegan, allergen and faith-specific requirements before arrival.

Carleton’s main campus is at 1125 Colonel By Drive beside the Rideau Canal, with direct access to Ottawa’s light-rail network and a compact academic setting. The 2026–27 academic calendars identify programs across the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Faculty of Engineering and Design, Faculty of Public and Global Affairs, Faculty of Science, Sprott School of Business and the School of Journalism and Communication. International undergraduate admissions describes more than 3,000 international students from 150 countries and 12 residence buildings.

Carleton provides campus safety and student-support information through official university services. Ottawa is a large urban capital, so students should read current emergency, residence, transit and after-hours support instructions rather than rely on a broad safety label. The university’s international and graduate offices provide programme and arrival guidance, while immigration rules remain the responsibility of Canadian authorities. International undergraduate admissions provides application guidance, document upload instructions, offer and residence information, study-permit preparation and contact with international admissions staff. Graduate Studies provides country-specific minimum-admission guidance, English-language requirements, funding information and immigration-support links. Academic advising, accessibility, career services, residence and student services remain programme- or faculty-specific.
