Tulane University: Registration
2008-2009 Academic Year
26
REGISTRATION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
All students must register by the last day to add classes for each semester.
Students register on the web by accessing the TOUR (Tulane Online University
Records) option found on the University Registrar's website at
www.registrar.tulane.edu. This site also contains a link to the Schedule of Classes.
Summer and Fall semester course offerings are available in March and Spring
semester courses are available in November. The schedule is updated twice daily.
The convenience of registration on the web coupled with the delivery of tuition
bills via email greatly reduces the time each student must spend on campus
dealing with administrative details. Students, however, must know that by
registering they assume full financial responsibility for keeping the University
informed of any address changes so that bills and priority registration materials
may be delivered promptly.
Students should also be aware of the requirement to confirm attendance at the
beginning of each semester. Notices will be emailed to all enrolled students when
the confirmation option becomes available on TOUR. In addition, they must
consult the academic calendar on the University Registrar's webpage when
adding or dropping courses once the term has begun. Failure to heed the dates set
forth in the official calendar could result in academic or financial penalty.
NEWLY ADMITTED STUDENTS
Newly admitted students will receive by mail a packet which includes all the
information materials needed to register for courses. The new student packet will
indicate when the student may select classes, and it usually includes information
on any kind of placement decision that is needed.
Students registering at Tulane for the first time are required to see his or her
academic advisor before classes begin to make needed adjustments in the courses
previously selected as well as to discuss academic options in general.
All students should provide the registrar with an up-to-date local address. It is the
responsibility of the student to keep the university notified of any change in local
or permanent address. Many of the important documents that students need are
now sent to them using the addresses they provide. These include: priority
registration materials, bills, (if requested via mail vs. email), and notices
concerning academic action. It, therefore, is essential that any change in address
be updated using the demographic information option on TOUR as soon as
possible.
