E-Newsletters

TULANE FAMILY NEWSLETTERS

Our Tulane Family Newsletter emails begin with a special summer series for parents of incoming first-year students sent near the beginning and middle of the month from mid-May until August Move-In. Each newsletter will have short articles introducing campus resources, reminders of upcoming deadlines, and planning advice.

Parents of all class years will receive e-newsletters during the academic year on the first of the month, September through May.

Other Tulane Communications

TUday & Tomorrow - A Note from President Michael A. Fitts

You can read past issues and find the subscribe link on the president's website. Please note that parents are not automatically dropped from this list when their students graduate. 

 

Emergency and other critical notifications
Every semester we create a list of parents of currently enrolled students and use it to send important messages to Tulane parents. This may include information about emergency situations such as bad weather and related school closings, annual notices for all parents or special messages from the president to the Tulane community. Please note that this list is NOT used for notices about crime on campus; see the TUPD Crime Alerts list below.  

The list is populated with contact information that students have provided in the Gibson Online portal. If you wish to sign up mid-semester, you can use this form, but you should also have your student add your email address in Gibson.
 

TUPD Crime Alerts
The Tulane University Police Department uses this list to send alerts in accordance with the Clery Act about crimes near the Tulane campus. Please note that this list is NOT used for emergency situations that threaten the Tulane campus. View past alerts and subscribe on the TUPD website. Please note that parents are not automatically dropped from this list when their students graduate.
