Welcome to the Office of Parent Programs. Our role within the university is to assist and support your needs as a Tulane parent or family member. We believe parents and families are an important part of the university community.  Whether you need information about orientation for new students, want to become connected through our Partners in Learning e-newsletters, or just need a question answered, we are here to help you and keep you well-informed.

For those of you who are new to Tulane University, we invite you to utilize our Pelican Partners, a group of experienced Tulane parents who volunteer to answer your questions via e-mail. These parents are eager to assist you in your role as a parent of a new Tulane student.  In addition, the Office of Parent Programs also supports the Parent and Family Society.   All parents of Tulane students are automatically members of this organization.  We hope that you consider becoming an active member within the society.

To learn about opportunities and resources available for Tulane parents and family members, please check out the Quick Links on the left side of this page. Besides parent orientation, we hope to see many of you during Parent/Family Weekend and at other Tulane-sponsored events.

If you have any questions, please phone us toll free at 877–TUP–WAVE (877-887-9283 ) or e-mail parents@tulane.edu.
