WELCOME!

e are delighted that you have chosen Carleton University for an enrichment program this year. Throughout its thirty-sixth year history, the Enrichment Mini-Courses Program (EMCP) has given thousands of students a chance to

experience learning in a post-secondary setting. As well, this unique event has given us the opportunity to showcase Carleton’s academic programs and facilities.

Start the week at Carleton University by meeting your instructor/s and classmates!

On Sunday, April 30th, 2017, we invite you to join us on campus for the

EMCP orientation day. You (students and parents) will meet in your designated classroom, for about 45 minutes to an hour, to talk about your class activities for the week. Please refer to the map at the back of this brochure to find out the location of your classroom for the orientation session. Our EMCP staff will be available on campus to direct/escort you to your respective class. Please locate your course number below and make note of your designated orientation session, at 1 pm or 2 pm.

Discover Carleton’s learning environment! We are delighted to introduce you to our excellent academic programs offered in a friendly, informal atmosphere of the EMCP. We want you to feel at home and part of Carleton community.

During your week at Carleton, you will have a chance to explore and enjoy

the University and its beautiful surroundings. To make your EMCP week memorable, each student will receive a commemorative EMCP 2017 Carleton T-shirt. During your week in the classroom, your instructor will draw prizes that include Carleton collectibles and souvenirs.
