    This office was established in 1942 by the Ottawa Association for the Advancement of Learning, the body which founded Carleton College. The President and Vice-Chancellor is the Chief Executive Officer of the University, and is appointed by the Board of Governors on the recommendation of the Senate, for a seven year term which may be renewed. The President is responsible to the Board of Governors to ensure the University functions in accordance with the policies enacted by the Board and Senate pursuant to their respective powers as set in the Carleton University Act of 1952.

Functions of the President include providing overall leadership, presenting the annual budget and making recommendations to the Board and Senate. He or she is an ex officio member of the Senate, Board of Governors, and all faculty boards and may also perform the function of Chancellor should a vacancy in the office exist. The secretariat for the Senior Planning Committee is in the Office of the President. The current President is Richard Van Loon (1996 - present ).

    Custodial history

The vault is the area Carleton University Archives uses to store its holdings and is named so because of the vault door used to enter and exit the area. These records were officially transferred to the archives in 1995.
