Undergraduate Admission

Special Programs

In addition to daily tours and information sessions, we offer several other special admission programs.

Campus Preview Days (Fall): There are four Campus Preview Days in the fall for prospective students and their families. Each day includes an informational overview, student panels, question and answer sessions and a campus tour. Below are the fall 2012 Campus Preview Day dates:
Saturday, September 22nd (for Louisiana students)
Sunday, October 7th
Saturday, October 20th
Saturday, November 10th

Louisiana Week / Louisiana Campus Preview Day (Fall and Spring): Louisiana week provides Louisiana students with the opportunity to have a comprehensive and informative day on Tulane's campus. The program includes a campus tour, an admission and financial aid discussion, and a student panel. The fall 2012 Louisiana Campus Preview Day will take place on Saturday, September 22nd. Please check back in December for the spring 2013 dates for sophomores and juniors.

Receptions for Prospective Students (Fall): Admission Counselors will be hosting receptions for prospective students throughout the country in the fall. Receptions provide students the opportunity to learn about Tulane without ever leaving home. Please check back later this summer for Fall 2012 reception dates.

Destination Tulane (Spring):  All admitted students and their families are invited to attend Destination Tulane, a special program that gives students a comprehensive look at what life is like as a Tulane student. Spring 2013 Destination Tulane dates will be available in the fall. During each Destination Tulane day, students have the opportunity to:

  • Sit in on a class with Tulane professors and students
  • Meet current students along with other future members of the next incoming class
  • Tour the historic Tulane campus and eat lunch in the Tulane dining hall
  • Get answers to many questions regarding academics, financial aid and student life

Lunch with a Current Student (Spring): Admitted students are encouraged to have lunch with a current Tulane student during their visit. We ask that students submit requests at least a week in advance of the visit by filling out this on-line form. Lunches are held at 12pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and at 12:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Although lunches are not guaranteed on Saturdays, we will do our best to accommodate all requests. Lunches are not offered during "Destination Tulane" dates, as the program already includes lunch with current students.
