Frequently Asked Questions
How do I become a member of the Carleton University Alumni Association (CUAA)?
Membership in the CUAA is free. All Carleton University students automatically become members of CUAA upon graduation and you don’t need to do anything in order to join. Students who have completed five full credits but are no longer registered at Carleton may also become members as alumnus non-graduates upon request. Once you become a Carleton alumnus, all benefits carry throughout your journey and are accessible whenever you need them.
What are the perks available to me as a CUAA member?
Carleton graduates have access to a wide variety of great rates, products, benefits and services. Around campus, you can enjoy professional programs through Sprott, merchandise discounts at the Carleton University Bookstore, MacOdrum Library borrowing privileges, career counselling, and more. Our affinity partners offer services such as TD Tenants, Vehicle and Home Insurance, and online will services through Willful.

We want to stay in touch with you. You can update your contact information at any time using our online form on the Alumni website or email us at cu_proud@carleton.ca. Please include your full name, your student number (or date of birth) and your updated contact information.
Do I need an alumni ID card? How can I get one?
To access the majority of your CUAA benefits, you do not need to obtain an alumni ID card. For any perks that do require proof, you can order an ID card by sending an email to cu_proud@carleton.ca with your name, student ID# (if known), date of birth and your current mailing address. If you have applied to graduate, please wait for your approval from Carleton before requesting an alumni card. Once your request has been processed, your card will be mailed to you.
How can I get involved as a volunteer?
Volunteers play a vital role in supporting the interests and advancement of the Carleton University Alumni Association and the university. Within the CUAA, there are positions available on the National Executive Council or with chapters and affiliates.
