Based on helpful feedback from students and families, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Programs has made a change to the Panhellenic Recruitment schedule. Recruitment will now begin on Friday, January 9, 2026, with a combined Kick-Off and Open House event at 6 p.m. in McAllister Auditorium. All recruitment events will start on Friday, January 9, 2026.
Additionally, students registered for Panhellenic Recruitment through the Campus Director platform are guaranteed to be able to move in on January 9th. Students will receive a separate email from Housing and Residence Life on December 17, to confirm their January 9, 2026 move-in date. For more details, students should visit the Housing and Residence Life website and check their Tulane email regularly.
For more background on recruitment, visit the OFSP and Panhellenic Recruitment websites and view the October 15 Fraternity and Sorority Recruitment Family webinar recording in the archive.

Mock Interview Program - Parents, Get Involved! |
We invite Tulane parents to join us as interviewers for our Career Development Capstone Mock Interview Program! This program gives students in the CRDV 1070 course the chance to practice interviewing and receive valuable feedback as they prepare for internships, jobs, and graduate school opportunities.
New this year, students will be matched with interviewers based on their industries of interest, creating meaningful and relevant conversations. If you are interested, please fill out the form or email csc@tulane.edu with any questions.
If your student has not already taken one of our 1-credit career development courses, encourage them to consider it as they are planning and pre-registering for Spring 2026.

Housing Accommodations Request Process for Academic Year Fall 2026/Spring 2027 |
As we approach the end of the fall semester, this is an ideal time for students to assess their current housing experience and consider possibilities for the fall 2026/spring 2027 academic year.
Students seeking support due to disability-related needs related to housing are encouraged to explore the many campus resources available through Housing & Residence Life, Campus Health, Tulane Hospitality, and the Goldman Center for Student Accessibility.
Students with disability-related needs impacting their housing may wish to submit a housing accommodation request through the Goldman Center. Each request should include documentation completed by a licensed provider.
The Goldman Center uses an interactive process and collaborates closely with campus partners to determine reasonable accommodations or connect students with other helpful resources that can address their concerns.
All housing accommodation requests should be submitted by the priority deadline of January 16, 2026. Further details on Housing and Residence Life's room selection process will be announced in early spring semester.
If your student has any questions, please encourage them to visit the Goldman Center for Student Accessibility website, reach out to us via email at goldman@tulane.edu or by phone at 504-862-8433.
