Hi ,

Your arrival to campus is just around the corner, and the entire Tulane community is buzzing with excitement! In New Student Module 4, titled Get Ready for Hullabaloo Hello (now open!), we'll explore the adventures, opportunities, and resources awaiting you in your first year.

Please complete this final module prior to your arrival, as you'll discover all you need to know about new student orientation. We can't wait to welcome you to campus very soon and celebrate the start of your Tulane journey!

Roll Wave!

Newcomb-Tulane College | Tulane University

Hullabaloo Hello is an immersive orientation experience and celebratory welcome to Tulane University for all new undergraduate students! This celebration encompasses move-in, orientation programming, signature events, and more. Throughout the experience, you'll be introduced to the people, peers, and places committed to supporting your transition. Plus, there will be a parade of opportunities to build community with your classmates.

In preparation for your arrival, please review the Fall 2026 Hullabaloo Hello Schedule!

This detailed schedule provides an overview of your day-to-day programming, meetings with your peer leaders, and the many opportunities to connect with the Tulane community.

We are committed to providing a welcoming and accessible Hullabaloo Hello experience for all students. If you require
accommodations for any program or event, please reach out to us at firstyear@tulane.edu.

Throughout Hullabaloo Hello, a team of staff and student leaders will be present across campus, eager to support you. If you're ever unsure where you should be, just ask us!

You'll meet your Wave Leader on the evening of your move-in day. These student leaders are the welcoming committee of the orientation experience and serve as a resource, guide, and mentor as you transition to the University. Each Wave Leader is assigned a group of new students, guiding you through Hullabaloo Hello and helping you become familiar with life at Tulane.

Are you interested in developing leadership skills, advocating for student needs on campus, and creating a more inclusive undergraduate community? If so, then the Tulane Undergraduate Assembly (TUA) is for you!

TUA acts as the student governing body on campus and is made up of 34 students who are passionate about making a change. This Fall, TUA is holding its annual Elections and Selections Process to fill 7 seats for our First-Year Delegates and our 6 selection seats for 2026-2027, and any incoming First-Year undergraduate student at Tulane is encouraged to participate (only First-Year students are eligible to vote).

If you are interested in running, please fill out this form here. For more information, check us out on Instagram @tua.tulane, visit our website, or email us at tua@tulane.edu with any questions!

To help you stay on track, be sure to use the New Student Checklist, located within the New Student Modules. This resource highlights important tasks and deadlines to guide your transition to Tulane.

Below are just a few of the checklist items to complete in August:
