Hi ,
In just a little over a month, you will take your first steps onto campus and begin your journey with over 1,800 of your peers. This is a moment you will remember throughout your time at Tulane.
In this Navigator, we are covering very important information with many dates, deadlines, and opportunities. Make sure you are keeping up with the New Student Checklist and looking over your emails for any new information from Tulane. You don't want to forget about tasks you have to complete or forms to submit BEFORE you arrive on campus. A big day to keep on your calendars is JULY 15!
By now, you should have selected your Move-In timeslot, started to make travel plans, attended a CAST session, began planning your class schedule with your Academic Adviser, and checked out the New Student Guide and Navigators for opportunities to get involved on campus and connect with the different communities at Tulane. Your next tasks are going to be to submit forms for health and safety, student conduct and policy, academic support, and financial aid.
All of this may seem like a lot, but this can be seen as a good bit of practice in time management, note taking, and event tracking - skills that EVERY Tulanian will tell you are necessary for success. This is a great way to create a strategy for tracking deadlines and making sure you aren't forgetting anything. Using a physical or online calendar like your Tulane Outlook Account Calendar, keeping a planner, color coding notes, using apps, or setting reminders on your phone are ways that will help you in your classes, social life, and going to events across campus - WaveSync is the go-to tool for this (ask your Wave Leader about it once you arrive!).
During New Student Orientation and Fall Welcome, your Wave Leader will assist you in following your schedule and will let you know of any opportunities you might be interested in. You are free to explore the many programs and organizations during your downtime and beyond Orientation (some are provided below). However, remember that you should always make time to RECHARGE, RELAX, and REFOCUS; showing up affords you opportunity but showing up with your best self is the key to success!
Questions? We are here to point you in the right direction. Contact our team by emailing orientation@tulane.edu. You'll also find helpful resources on our website, orientation.tulane.edu. Make sure to follow us on Instagram (@tulanenslp) and hashtags #TUNSO21 to get to know our team and learn about resources for new students!
Roll Wave,
Rachel

Get TU Know the Newcomb Big/Little Program
Participate in one of the most popular Newcomb traditions! Hundreds of undergraduates choose to participate in this program every year.
First-year students can apply to be a Newcomb Little and have a Newcomb Big, a peer mentor who will act as a guide and resource during your first semester at Tulane. Bigs serve as a resource, a guide, and a friend as each first-year transitions to Tulane. Bigs are a helpful source of advice and insight throughout the semester, and there will be events for both Bigs and Littles to attend in order to get to know each other better.
Registration will close on Friday, July 16 OR when there are an equal number of mentors and mentees -- sign up early to claim your spot! Pairs will be matched by July 30, based on interests, majors, or any other factors you'd like us to consider. Bigs will contact Littles in early August. |

Student Health & Wellness, Support Services, Deadlines & Campus Policies |
|
Campus Health welcomes new students to Tulane! Our staff is devoted to providing you with excellent medical and mental health care, and our facilities are conveniently located near your classes and residence halls. As you prepare for your first semester at Tulane, please use this checklist to help you stay on top of required and recommended first steps.
Throughout the summer, make sure to check your emails regularly as new information from Campus Health is sent to you! Before you arrive to campus in August, here are a couple of updates and deadlines you should become familiar with.
August 15 is the deadline to either enroll in or opt out of T-SHIP. If you do not take action by this date, you will be automatically enrolled in T-SHIP, and the non-refundable premium will be charged to your account. No action is required for newly enrolled international students, as you will be automatically enrolled in T-SHIP. Beginning summer 2020, newly enrolled international students are required to enroll in T-SHIP.
Mid-July: Required Wellness Courses Available - Check your Tulane email for instructions on completing three required online courses about alcohol, sexual violence prevention and mental wellbeing. You have until August 23 to finish these online courses.
July 15: Immunization Compliance Deadline - This is the deadline to submit your completed Tulane immunization compliance form and records via the Patient Portal. Your doctor needs to sign and stamp Tulane's form. Tulane must have evidence of a student’s compliance with the state guidelines for immunizations. Failure to meet these requirements will result in an enrollment hold being placed on your student account, which will bar you from dropping or adding classes in the Fall semester and/or enrolling for Spring semester classes.
Late July/early August: Connect with a community therapist or psychiatrist for ongoing concerns before arriving in New Orleans. Contact the Counseling Center Care Coordinator if you need assistance.
Miscellaneous & Campus Policies:
Tulane is a smoke-free and tobacco-free campus (no e-cigarettes, no vapes, no Juuls). Review the Tulane Tobacco Policy to learn more.

COVID-19 Vaccine & Mask Requirements |
|
Student Vaccine Requirement
For the sake of our city and campus, we implore each one of you to receive your COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible. Increasing campus immunizations will reduce the spread of COVID-19 and help us all return more quickly to normal lives with less restrictions and reduced safety protocols. To hasten this return, students will be required to receive the COVID-19 vaccination for Fall Semester 2021. However, students may decline the vaccination for reasons consistent with Louisiana state vaccine laws by submitting a Vaccine Declination Form. |
|
Students must submit vaccine documentation or the declination form by July 15. If students have been vaccinated at a clinic other than the Tulane School of Medicine Vaccine Clinic, located on the first floor of the JBJ Building, they should report proof of vaccination through the Campus Health Patient Portal. Additional information regarding the vaccine requirement for international students will be shared soon.
Check out this video on how to submit your COVID-19 vaccine record.
For questions about uploading documentation or the declination form, please email chtestresults@tulane.edu. For all COVID vaccine questions, please email covidvaccine@tulane.edu.

Mask Requirement on Tulane University Property
In compliance with Louisiana Department of Health and CDC Guidance, Tulane will no longer require fully vaccinated students, faculty, staff, visitors or vendors to wear masks indoors or outdoors while on any Tulane campus — including residence halls, classrooms, dining halls, offices, recreation centers, COVID-19 testing centers, and campus buildings. Those who have not received the vaccine are required to continue wearing masks on all Tulane University campuses and property.
