Orientation Programs on JumboLife

Undergraduate Orientation will be hosted on JumboLife and open to incoming students only through their Single Sign-On. Students will be automatically enrolled and will be able to access the materials beginning Thursday, September 3 at 9 a.m.
Parents and families will not have access to the materials. Anyone may access the full calendar online.
To access Undergraduate Orientation, follow these steps:
  1. Head over to jumbolife.tufts.edu
  2. Click the person icon in the top right corner, and select "Log-In"
  3. Log in using your Tufts Single Sign-On (SSO) - this is your Tufts UTLN and password. 
  4. Select Opportunities in the top menu bar.
  5. Select Experiences 
  6. Click the teal "Undergraduate Orientation" icon 
From here, you'll be able to complete your Undergraduate Orientation materials. As a reminder, for Orientation programs happening over zoom, students must log-in using the Tufts Single Sign-On (not just using your Tufts email on the normal log-in page).
