Hi ,
Orientation is just days away and we could not be more excited for your arrival! To prepare for the week ahead, review the Fall 2022 New Student Orientation Schedule and New Student Checklist. The schedule overviews your day-to-day programming, sessions with your Wave Leaders, and many opportunities for you to get connected with the Tulane community, campus resources, and your class. You will receive a personalized schedule prior to your assigned Move-In day, so be sure to regularly check your Tulane email!
Countdown to New Student Orientation: 2 DAYS!!!
When you arrive on campus, you'll be connected with your Wave Leader, a returning Tulane student who will serve as your guide through the first few weeks of college. They are an amazing resource for you! As returning students, they have detailed knowledge about all things Tulane, from where the best study spots are to tips on meeting new people. Feel free to reach out to your Wave Leader as much as you need. They are here for you.
Questions? Contact our team by emailing orientation@tulane.edu or by visiting our website orientation.tulane.edu.
Roll Wave,

Wayfinding Campus
Throughout orientation, you can expect to find directional lawn signs around campus and interactive decals in the Lavin-Bernick Center that link to a campus map and daily orientation schedule. Not sure where to go? Look for these signs to guide you in the right direction!
Here TU Help
You viewed the signs, checked the map, read the schedule and still aren't sure where you should be? No worries! Just ask your Wave Leader, Peer Mentor, or any friendly face wearing a "Here TU Help" button for guidance.

Office of Student Conduct:
High Priority Period
As we begin the year, we will be in a High Priority Period. This is how we refer to periods of time when we need to focus our staff resources on specific events or emergencies (Orientation, Move-in, severe weather-related preparations, etc.). Getting students moved and assimilated into Tulane will be the focus of the current High Priority Period, which will begin at 8 AM on August 12 and continue through 8 AM on August 22.
Violations of the Student Code of Conduct during this period may result in more significant penalties. For first-year students, this may impact your ability to participate in fraternity or sorority recruitment. If residential students are on Disciplinary Probation (DP) through January 2023, they will be unable to participate in formal recruitment or host any guests in their residence hall for the duration of the Mardi Gras period.
During this time, the entire campus will be alcohol-free and no events or activities, including sponsored off-campus events for undergraduate students, can include alcohol. In addition to High Priority Period restrictions, residence hall visitation will be limited to on-campus students only AND family members helping with move-in as we begin the new semester.

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion |
To become a truly great university – defined by breakthrough discovery, world-class scholarship and transformative personal growth and enrichment – Tulane must be an equitable, diverse and inclusive community that welcomes and supports a diverse array of students, faculty and staff. We must foster an environment where each member of our academic family, particularly our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and other underrepresented members, are not only supported but are able to thrive. Over the past several years, we have made great progress together, but we know we must do more. Tulane is committed to the advancement of all members of our community.
The university has a variety of initiatives, resources and support mechanisms – you can explore many of them below.
