Hi ,
Hello, Class of 2026! We hope your June is off to a great start! With summer in full swing, we encourage you to regularly check the New Student Checklist for important dates and deadlines.
By now, you should have signed up for a session of Cultivating Academic Success at Tulane (CAST) and completed the required online modules before attending your session. Additionally, from now until June 14th, you may request a roommate for your first year in New Orleans via the Housing Portal. How exciting!
Countdown to New Student Orientation: 74 DAYS
In this Navigator, we will review some of these checklist items with you. We will also include some words from various campus partners that are hoping to work with you in the fall. Keep a lookout for things you might want to get involved in!
Questions? Contact our team by emailing orientation@tulane.edu or by visiting our website orientation.tulane.edu.
Roll Wave,
Jesse

Happening Now: CAST Sessions |

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions:
Prepare for Success
Cultivating Academic Success at Tulane (CAST) is the first step of New Student Orientation and prepares students for academic success and to start making an impact on campus. During CAST, you’ll learn about the academic and support services available at Tulane, get insider tips from current Tulane students, engage with faculty, and prepare for your advising and registration appointment. Students are REQUIRED to attend CAST.
All new students need to log on to the Green Wave Portal and register for one of the six CAST virtual sessions. Once you’ve registered for CAST, you’ll receive an email at your tulane.edu email address directing you to the online modules in the Gibson portal. (You’ve used the Green Wave Portal through the admission process, but now that you’re a student, everything happens in Gibson.)
There are several online modules that are part of New Student Orientation, but right now you just need to do the two CAST modules. Once the CAST modules are complete, you are ready to attend your CAST session and your registration appointment!

Religious Life & Spirituality
Dear Class of 2026, my name is Corey Olivier. I serve as the Chair of Tulane’s Religious Life Council. On behalf of all of the faith groups on campus, I want to welcome you to Tulane and the City of New Orleans.
The next four years will be some of the most exciting, adventurous, challenging, and defining ones of your life. With that said, the next four years is not the time to put your faith on hold or stop exploring how faith could play a major role in your life.
Below are numerous faith organizations that you can get involved in at Tulane. Each has been active at Tulane for several years if not decades. Our goal is that you will explore several groups to see what each has to offer and make plans to visit them when you get to campus. You can contact each organization you’re interested in individually or you can fill out a Google form with your interest(s) and they can contact you.
We look forward to journeying with you!
Blessings,
Corey J. Olivier

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.
