Wave of Support is a campus-wide, collaborative program that supports students’ mental and emotional health at Tulane. The 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 well-being.

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 the July New Student Module!

Campus Health is committed to providing high-quality physical and mental health care services and engaging you in programs and initiatives that promote your overall well-being. Campus Health facilities are conveniently located near your classes and residence halls. Explore the range of services available, including The Health Center for Student Care, The Well for Health Promotion, and Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS), in the July New Student Module.

Upcoming Campus Health Checklist Deadlines:

Check your Tulane email this month for a message from Campus Health with instructions on completing five required online wellness courses. You will have until August 19 to finish these online courses.

College life can be challenging for students, whether due to academic pressures or personal reasons. Case Management and Victim Support Services (CMVSS) offers comprehensive support for Tulane students in need. CMVSS does not solve our student’s problems for them, but rather helps students identify the issues, find the appropriate resources, and collaboratively develop an action plan. They support and empower our students to take action and advocate on their own behalf. 

CMVSS is a great resource to turn to if you have no idea where else to go. No matter how difficult or unique your situation may be, CMVSS is here to help!

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 Code of Student Conduct, the Code of Academic Conduct, and the Community Living Standards. These reminders and more can be found in the New Student Checklist below!

Wave Riders is the new official student fan group of Tulane Athletics! The goal of the Wave Riders is to connect every Tulane student with Green Wave Athletics, and support our student-athletes by attending games and creating the best home field/court advantage! All Tulane students are eligible to join the Wave Riders, and membership is just $20. Once you sign up and pay that one-time fee, you will be part of the Wave Riders for as long as you are a student at Tulane. Members receive great benefits, including a shirt, early entry to select home games, priority access to postseason tickets, exclusive members-only giveaways, access to Wave Rewards, and more!

To support your transition to Tulane, we’ve organized a New Student Checklist of important tasks to complete throughout the summer. We highly encourage you to review it regularly for a reminder of approaching action items and deadlines.

Below are just a few of the action items to explore in July:
