Important Enrollment/ Admission Information
Admission of a dependent to the Tulane University Undergraduate Program, the School of Professional Advancement, or the Tuition Exchange is NOT an automatic benefit of employment at Tulane University. Please see the presentation above and contact the appropriate department to understand the requirements for admission.

- Schedule a formal campus visit with an information session and campus tour;
- Apply early (Early Decision or Early Action).
- Thoroughly complete the application for admission (optional statement, activities).
- Maintain contact with our liaison for faculty and staff dependents, Kristin Guidry.
- Read the TU Admission Blog – lots of great tips on there.
FAQ's
Is there a tax liability for receiving a dependent tuition waiver benefit?
No.
Are there dependent tuition waiver benefits for graduate classes or degree programs?
No.
Is dual enrollment (HS student taking Tulane college courses) really covered by the tuition waiver benefit?
Yes.
Does the tuition waiver cover study abroad? Can the student choose schools with no relation to Tulane?
The tuition waiver benefit can be used for study abroad when the student goes on a Tulane program.
Are there any limits on how many waivers a student can receive (ie: must graduate in 4 years)?
No, there is no limit on number of semesters for undergraduate courses.
For the tuition exchange program, does a dependent of a faculty/ staff member from the university where my dependent wants to go need to come to Tulane?
Not necessarily. The exchange refers to an overall number of import students versus export students. We are not required to have an exchange with a specific member school in order for a scholarship to be offered. However, the school of interest may include that criteria as part of their own policy for scholarship selection.

Yes, all final admission notifications are made by April 1 regarding applications for full-time study at NTC. The SoPA deadline is typically in early August.
Is there ever an option for a dependent in SoPa to live in Tulane residence halls?
No.
