Transfer Students

Admitted Transfers Guide

Congratulations! We look forward to having you on Tulane's campus!

Exploring the Opportunities as an Admitted Student and Enrolling
All admitted transfer students receive a user name and password to log into a personal website where they may sign up to attend admission events in the spring, submit an enrollment deposit and submit a deposit for housing consideration.  An e-mail with all of the necessary information will be sent to the email address used to submit the application approximately two weeks after receiving an admission letter.

Paying a Deposit and Applying for Housing*
On the admitted student website (see above), you may pay an enrollment deposit of either $150 (if you intend to live off-campus) or $300 (if you would like to be considered for on-campus housing which has limited availability for transfer students). Enrollment deposits must be submitted by December 1 for the Spring 2011 term, or by August 1 for the Fall 2011 term. If you choose to pay your deposit by check, please make it payable to the “Tulane Educational Fund” and mail it to the Office of Undergraduate Admission at the contact information below. Please include your full name and birthday on the check. If you would like a confirmation or e-mail receipt, and/or if you would like to be considered for on-campus housing, please follow up with an e-mail to transfer@tulane.edu one week after you have submitted your deposit.

Housing is not guaranteed for transfer students. We have been able to offer housing to some transfer students in the past; however, the availability varies from semester to semester and year to year.

Consulting your Academic Advisor and Registering for Classes
All students are assigned an advisor within the Academic Advising Center based on their personal area(s) of academic interest. Please feel free to contact Dolores Hemphill, at dhemphil@tulane.edu, in order to obtain your advising assignment.

Registration is a simple, online process. Registration information will be sent to you shortly after we receive your enrollment deposit.  Registration begins in April for the fall term and in November for the spring term. To prepare for registration, visit the Registrar Office website and click on “Schedule of Classes.” You will also find the academic calendar at this site. The Academic Advising Center Website provides quick links to the University Catalog, information regarding the Core Curriculum and other helpful resources.

Orientation Activities
The Office of Student Affairs coordinates a thorough and enjoyable series of orientation activities so that you can get to know Tulane, New Orleans and your new classmates. Many of the orientation events are open to all new students, both first year and transfers, but Tulane also coordinates a number of orientation events exclusively for transfer students. In the fall, orientation for transfer students begins one day earlier than first-year student move-in day. In the spring, the transfer student orientation takes place the Sunday before classes begin for the spring semester. Transfer exclusive events in 2010 included a transfer student welcome reception, a French Quarter dinner and haunted history tour, a city tour including Tulane’s uptown neighborhood, a cupcake social, a cooking class and a pizza party.  More details can be found at the Orientation Website.
