As Carleton University continues to follow our safe meetings and social distancing guidelines, the Department of University Communications has transitioned to providing services remotely during our regular business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday).

If you are a member of the media and require assistance after hours, please contact Steven.Reid3@carleton.ca.
