Changing your Carleton Password: New Students

If you are on campus, see instructions for Students On Campus (link opens in a new tab).

Before Changing Your Password

1. Set aside some time (about 15 minutes)
2. Record your old password in case of future need and prepare to record your new password, preferably in a secure password manager

Change Your Password

1. Change your password here (link opens in a new tab)
   NOTE: If are using Firefox or Safari and you reach a blank screen when using the link above, please open a Private Browsing Window or use Google Chrome to change your password

After Changing Your Password

• Make sure to test your new password: Open a private browsing window and log into password.carleton.edu
• If you have not done so already, please add account recovery options to your account (instructions for account recovery options are here).

What to Expect after You Change Your Password

• It may take time for site sessions to expire and request reauthentication. For example, Gmail may continue to log in automatically for some time before prompting you to enter your new password.
• If you have had your computer or browsers remember your passwords, you will need to enter your new password the first time you visit Carleton websites and systems rather than using the remembered password.
