The 2018-2019 school year has brought new changes to Carthage – like The Tower and Farmer’s Fridge machines for healthy meal options – but not all the changes are exclusive to on-campus. Previously, Carthage primarily used “My Carthage” for students’ functions along with a few other websites that often made things confusing for students (such as signing up for fitness classes and reserving rooms), and this new school year brought changes to these websites as well as a few new ones to the mix. But don’t worry – this guide’s got you covered.
1. My Carthage
My Carthage is still used for advising, adding and dropping classes, filling out your work hours if you’re a campus employee, checking your financial information, and requesting transcripts.
2. Schoology
Schoology has replaced eLearning for messaging teachers, finding course documents and turning in assignments. You can use your same username and password for My Carthage to log in.
3. The Harbor
Carthage has moved on from Org Sync and now uses The Harbor for keeping you updated on your organization’s meeting times, events, and finding information on other clubs. You’re also able to sign up for group fitness classes here, but I would suggest contacting the TARC for information.
4. Astra
Astra can be used to reserve rooms for meetings, events and study sessions. The website might come across as a little confusing at first, but it’s not too difficult to navigate. You can use your same username and password for My Carthage to access Astra.
5. LibGuide
LibGuide is perfect for finding whatever you need for class – whether you’re looking for a book, a play, poetry, children’s literature, journal articles, or research studies. It’s also a great resource, especially for those writing their thesis!
6. The Bridge (and Her Campus Carthage!)
Get all of the latest news from these two sources. The Bridge often writes about upcoming events and important campus information, whereas yours truly is there for career and relationship advice, featuring your fellow classmates, as well as beauty, style, national news… really anything you can imagine.
With this guide, Carthage collegiettes can focus on keeping track of homework assignments and scheduling their lives instead of trying to keep track of the campus’s websites – and having a list of the essential sites will only make it easier to keep your life organized.
