Educational accomplishments start as early as middle school and here at Tulane we believe all students should have the support to be successful in the college process. 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 process.
The college application process can be intimidating. Tulane’s Office of Undergraduate Admission holds an application workshop in the fall to help high school juniors, seniors, and their parent or guardian navigate the process. The day’s events will include parent and student programming that address the different components of the application, financial aid, and an opportunity to have questions answered by admission counselors.
The fall visit program is a 2-day, in person event for prospective, BIPOC and/or First-Generation, high school seniors. The event will take place on October 15th and October 16th, 2022. Combined with our fall Campus Preview Day, students will have the opportunity to explore academic offerings, immerse themselves into campus life, and participate in a college application workshop. This program is hosted by the Office of Undergraduate Admission in partnership with the Carolyn Barber-Pierre Center for Intercultural Life and the Center for Academic Equity. Students traveling to campus are eligible for travel reimbursement from the Office of Undergraduate Admission.
Registration for the 2022 program closes on October 1st, 2022

The spring visit program consists of in-person and virtual events for admitted, first-generation and/or multicultural, high school seniors. In addition to these events, a small and select number of students will be invited to interview for additional scholarship.
In-Person BienvenueTU (BTU) will be hosted on Saturday, March 18th, from 9am to 5pm Central, with a light breakfast and full lunch provided. Students and their parents will have the opportunity to connect with our Diversity Fellows, spend time with our Center for Intercultural Life and Center for Academic Equity staff, and hear more from our on-campus student support partners.
We will also be providing a partial travel reimbursement stipend for students and families who are invited and able to attend this in-person event. With this stipend, we are able to cover up to $300 of your total travel costs (including travel and lodging). You will have the opportunity when registering to let us know if you’re interested in receiving this stipend.
Please note that there is limited space available for students and families interested in attending BTU in person, so this program is available by invitation only.
We will host a virtual BTU program on Saturday, February 25th, from 11am to 12pm Central Time. Virtual BTU includes sessions from our Diversity Fellows, the Center for Intercultural Life, the Center for Academic Equity, and the Office of Undergraduate Admission.
This program is hosted by the Office of Undergraduate Admission in partnership with the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Center for Academic Equity.
Registration for Bienvenue will open on Monday, January 23rd, and students can sign up through their Green Wave Portal.
What matters my freshman year in high school? What classes do I take? Rather than waiting until the end of high school to prepare for college, the 8th Grade Bridge program enables middle school students to spend a day at Tulane and learn how to prepare for success in high school. Whether that is getting good grades, selecting appropriate courses or joining an extracurricular, this program emphasizes how to build a solid foundation early on in high school. This program is for any interested local schools and community based organizations.
In addition to our daily tours, Tulane also welcomes tours for special groups. These tours serve groups of 8 people or more from community based organization, high schools, service organizations, youth groups, etc. Learn more about our Group tours.
The Office of Undergraduate Admission hosts a number of workshops for high school students locally and nationwide. Sessions are designed to improve college readiness for all grade levels. Program components can include anything from college application workshops, virtual information sessions, or panels, to community events, parent nights, and much more.
