SCAN FOR MORE INFO
Wave Weekend combines Homecoming, Reunions, and Family Weekend into one. Students and families have the opportunity to hear from campus partners at open houses and receptions, attend a concert, take in a Tulane football game, and connect with alumni! The full schedule and registration will be released late summer. Tickets for the football game have typically gone on sale in summer; students will be able to claim a free ticket in the fall.
RESIDENTIAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES
Residential Learning Communities (RLCs) are designated spaces in a residence hall where first-year students live together to learn about and participate in activities centered around a theme. Students in each RLC will also take an associated Tulane Interdisciplinary Experience Seminar (TIDES) course. Those interested in an RLC must fill out a supplemental application, which can be found in your housing portal. Any questions can be directed to learningcommunities@tulane.edu.
