Carleton Mobile
Carleton University is a post-secondary institution located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1942, Carleton now educates over 22,000 undergrad and 3,500 grad students.
Carleton wanted to offer a mobile application that “helps [students] manage their day-to-day university experience and offers them another way to stay connected to Carleton,” says Suzanne Blanchard, Associate Vice-President (Students and Enrolment) and University Registrar, “by giving them access to their course schedule, grades, a campus map and relevant news, we feel we are doing just that.”
Carleton Mobile is a custom higher education mobile app that was developed by CollegeMobile for Carleton University students. This smartphone app allows students to conveniently access Carleton University’s services from their iPhone or Android device.
App Features
- Final Exams – Review final exam schedule, complete with course, time, and location
