Dear Tulane Family Member, 

We're at the midpoint of the summer now so students may be both excited and a little anxious. Encourage your student to keep up with their online Orientation Modules and refer to the New Student Checklist often to make sure they are staying on track. Careful preparation now will ease their transition once they arrive at Tulane.

If you can't find the information you need in this issue or in our archived newsletters, email
families@tulane.edu!

Warm regards,

Penny Wyatt

Eligible Newcomb-Tulane College undergraduate students can save money on books by using the NTC Undergrad Bundle. The cost of books for the semester is a flat fee of $350 for full-time students (12+ credit hours) and $188 for part-time students (minimum of 6 credit hours). Students can apply for an NTC Undergrad Bundle scholarship from Monday, June 16 to Wednesday, July 16.  

How you can help  

During the week of July 18, students will receive an email from the bookstore with instructions for selecting  NTC  Undergrad  Bundle  pickup or delivery options before the semester begins. Please urge your student to respond to the bookstore email immediately.   

Please note the bundle includes all materials and cannot be applied to individual items. If students opt out, they will have to pay full price for all digital materials because they are not sold separately. Additionally, all bundled materials are rentals and must be returned at the end of the semester to avoid additional charges. 

For more information, go to: https://campusservices.tulane.edu/bookstore/course-materials.
