Move-in Day
Only ten days until you make Tulane your new home! Check out Housing & Residence Life's page about Move-in Day to have your questions answered. We'll be ready and waiting with a Welcome Krewe of students to help you carry your belongings too! 


Can you believe Move-In Day is almost here? The Tulane campus is counting down the days until we welcome the Class of 2021 as the newest members of our community. As you make your final preparations, you are most likely filled with varying emotions.Transitions will do that! Rest assured that whether you are excited or nervous, anxious or stress-free, traveling alone or with your entire extended family, you will be greeted on Move-In Day by the TU Move Krewe, your Resident Advisor, Orientation Coordinators, and a community ready to help you get acclimated to your new home.

As you prepare to come on campus, don't forget to reference the  New Student Orientation (NSO) Guidebook often. The NSO Guidebook is packed with helpful information that will allow you to embrace every aspect of your first year. It  will be an especially helpful resource for you as you navigate your first semester.

We look forward to your arrival next week (or this weekend for those of you participating in our EXPLORE Programs) and to kicking off  Fall Welcome ( #TUFW17). So many opportunities await you and we can't wait to share in the excitement.

As always, please reach out to us should you have any questions, comments, or concerns. We're available by phone at (504) 865-5180 or email at [email protected]
