The Office of Undergraduate Admission offers a variety of access and inclusion programming that supports diverse, multicultural, and underrepresented students and their families at each step of the college application process.
PreviewTU (PTU) Visit Day
PreviewTU is a visit program for all prospective students. Programming is tailored to share social and academic resources at Tulane and foster belonging and community for students who identify with one or more of the following identities: first in their household to attend college, LGBTQIA+, students from limited-income backgrounds, students from rural or small towns, and/or students of color.
PTU allows students to connect with our Diversity Fellows, learn more about admissions for selective universities, and connect with campus resources. These programs are hosted by the Office of Undergraduate Admission in partnership with the Carolyn Barber-Pierre Center for Intercultural Life and the Center for Academic Equity. This year, PTU will be offered both virtually and in person.
