Spring 2026 Due Dates for Students
The departments within the Division of Campus Services provide Tulane students with technology and computer needs, dining options, identification cards, course materials, transportation, and more. The following due dates from our departments will help you prepare for the academic year.
October through January
Check with the Technology Connection campus store for back-to-school computer specials with promotions from Apple ® and Microsoft Surface products. Tech Connect also has a loaner and repair program for students. For more information, go to: techconnect.tulane.edu
November
Upload your Splash Card / Tulane ID photo as soon as you receive an email with instructions, which will ensure you receive your Splash Card when you arrive on campus for move in. REQUIRED
Early December
Check your email for information on how to ship items to Tulane for in-room delivery during move-in. New students and families will also receive this information via mail. We strongly recommend using the shipping portal. All residential students are assigned a campus mail code to manage mail, which is included in the mail packet. Please save your mail code for future reference. REQUIRED
Eligible Newcomb-Tulane College students will receive an email from the Tulane bookstore about the NTC Undergrad Bundle. Students should respond to this email immediately and select pickup or delivery so that their course materials and books will be ready on the first day of classes. Please note the bundle includes all materials and cannot be applied to individual items. If students opt out, they will have to pay full price for all digital materials because they are not sold separately. Additionally, all bundled materials are rentals and must be returned at the end of the semester to avoid additional charges. For more information, go to: https://campusservices.tulane.edu/bookstore/course-materials
Become familiar with the shuttles and transportation options at Tulane. Options include buses between campuses and on-demand transportation to and from designated areas. For more info, go to: shuttles.tulane.edu.
Late December to January 16
Review or change your dining plan. The last day to enroll in a dining plan, or to change an existing plan without fees, is Friday, Jan. 16. After that deadline, you can make changes until Friday, Jan. 23, but with change fees added. For more info, go to: https://tulane.campusdish.com/DiningPlans/MealPlans101 REQUIRED
January 23
This is the last day to opt out of the NTC Undergrad Bundle with the Tulane bookstore. If you are considering opting out of the NTC Undergrad Bundle, the Tulane bookstore recommends that you first calculate the possible level of savings on textbooks and course materials very closely. Many students have opted out then opted back in once they realized their level of savings.
And remember: if you opt-out, you will have to pay for full retail costs for digital materials, separately. If you don’t return your books at the end of the semester, you may be charged full retail costs and the bundle fee.
