Wave of Support is a campus-wide, collaborative program that supports students’ mental and emotional health at Tulane University. Wave of Support brings together the programs and services of the many existing student support offices on campus with the goal of building a healthier campus by enhancing the holistic experience of our students in the realm of wellbeing. 

Wave of Support recognizes that each person’s path to wellness is unique and ever-changing. Wellbeing goes beyond mental and physical health as every part of you is worthy of care and support. Explore the 8 dimensions of wellness in your July New Student Module!

Campus Health is your resource for high quality physical and mental health care services and health education while on campus. You'll be learning more about our wide array of services as you complete the July New Student Module. We'd like to remind you of two crucial action items that you must complete this summer:

We will also be asking you to complete a series of online wellness courses for new students, but those courses will not open until mid-July. These deadlines and more can be found in the New Student Checklist below!

The Office of Student Conduct recognizes that college students (like all of us) make mistakes. The goal of the Student Conduct system is to educate students about appropriate behavior and decision-making, and to foster a safe and healthy community in which academic success can occur. 

Through the conduct process, we hope to help students learn where they could have made different decisions and offer strategies for making better choices in the future. Remember to review the Housing & Residence Life Community Living Standards and the Code of Student Conduct. These reminders and more can be found in the New Student Checklist below!

The Office of Emergency Preparedness and Response oversees the preparation, prevention, and response to all-hazards events at Tulane University. Through comprehensive risk assessment, training, planning, mitigation and response, we ensure a safe, healthy, and happy community. 

Hurricane Season begins June 1 and ends November 30. It is imperative that students and their families develop a personal evacuation plan, and be ready to implement that plan if a storm threatens the New Orleans area. Please review these considerations for evacuation and submit your personal evacuation plan by July 15. Students living on campus should have already completed this in their housing application.
