Navigator News from Tulane University

Welcome to Tulane University! On behalf of the Office of Orientation and Student Transitions, you will be receiving these Navigator newsletters throughout the summer to keep you on course. These Navigator newsletters are for new students, written by members of the Orientation Planning Team - for students, by students! We will include: reminders of upcoming deadlines, highlights of Welcome Week activities, previews of campus involvement opportunities, and advice about preparing for your move to campus.

Immunization Form

Proof of immunization forms are due to the Health Center by July 15. Make sure to submit your form as soon as possible, since your Fall registration may be cancelled if your information is not received in time. Forms can be found here.

Live @ Tulane

You should have received your Tulane email account credentials, but the email account is just one portion of the whole Live@edu service that Tulane offers to you through an agreement with Microsoft. From any keyboard, you will have at your fingertips: 10 GB mailbox storage, 25 GB of free file storage on SkyDrive, document sharing & editing through Office Web Apps, instant messaging, video chat, and a lot more that you can access with the same user ID & password. Learn more on our website.

Remember to check your Tulane e-mail regularly because this is how we will stay in touch over the summer. We can't wait to see you in August!
