Hi ,

At Tulane, living in community means more than just co-existing; it’s an invitation to actively engage with each other and nurture a culture of learning and growth. In the July module, titled Make Way for Community (now open!), you'll be introduced to Housing & Residence Life and explore how living and learning blend seamlessly to enrich your undergraduate experience. Plus, you'll discover how you can prepare for Move-In!

You’ll have the entire month to complete the module at your own pace. It’s available now on your Canvas dashboard and is due by July 31.

Important reminder: If you haven't completed the May or June modules yet, please do so prior to beginning the July module.

The mission of Housing and Residence Life is to foster residential communities that inspire and empower your learning and growth. Through transformational and purposeful learning opportunities, you'll become an engaged scholar and responsible community member.

Living in a residence hall can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your undergraduate journey. Your relationships with roommates, suitemates, and floormates will make your residence hall feel like home!

You’re almost ready for Move-In! This is one of the most exciting times for students, their families, and the Tulane community. Housing & Residence Life has outlined the Move-In day process here and in the July New Student Module. Read through this information carefully and share it with those who will support you during your move so that you can make a plan for your arrival.

Residential first-year students will move in between Sunday, August 10 and Tuesday, August 12. You should have received an email from Housing & Residence Life with your assigned Move-In date and 30-minute arrival time slot.

In the July module, we’ll share more detailed information about Move-In logistics, including how to ship packages to campus, room details, and answers to frequently asked questions.

Trash to Treasure is a student organization dedicated to reducing waste from our annual move-in and move-out cycles. Each spring, students donate gently used items as they move out of residence halls. These items are then resold at reduced prices during fall Move-In, with proceeds benefiting local charities.

At the Trash to Treasure sale, you can purchase gently used hangers, mirrors, lamps, small furniture, electronics, drying racks, storage options, décor, and more! Tulane branded shirts and swag are free!
