Tulane University: Student Resources and Student Life
2008-2009 Academic Year
30
Drop-in tutoring is offered in over 30 subjects (including math, science, foreign
language, and business courses.) The Writing Workshop provides help for papers
written in the English language.
Students with disabilities may request and receive appropriate services and
accommodations through the Office of Disability Services (ODS). Before
accommodation decisions are made, students must register with ODS by filling
out an Accommodation Packet and submitting all necessary documentation for
review. Since this process can take time, students are strongly encouraged to
register as soon as possible, rather than wait until a need arises.
ERC staff also advise the student organization REACH, the Rape Emergency
Awareness and Coping Hotline. Trained REACH volunteers provide support to
victims of sexual assault and sexual harassment.
For further information about ERC services, visit the ERC office on the first floor
of the Mechanical Engineering building. A great deal of additional information
and related links are available on the office's website: www.tulane.edu/~erc
Relevant phone numbers include: 865-5113, ext. 1 (Counseling Services, Career

CAREER SERVICES CENTER
The Tulane Career Services Center (CSC), offers programs and services that
encourage students to explore careers, learn and apply career decision-making
skills, gain professional experiences while enrolled at Tulane, and, promotes
interaction among students and members of professional communities.
The Center embraces a career coaching model that allows staff to work with
students in an outcomes-focused manner throughout their Tulane years. By
offering a comprehensive career decision-making and career-planning
instructional program, students are presented with opportunities and support
systems that engage them actively in their own career management. Regardless of
the students' level of decidedness about their career decisions, center staff work
with students to help with self assessments, market and occupational exploration,
gaining experiences through internships, assistantships, and community service
and developing job search strategies.
Throughout any given year students can take advantage of career planning
courses, job search workshops, career panels, individual career coaching,
externships, internships, job fairs, and on- and off-campus recruiting programs.
Students can also utilize several web-based career guidance and job searching
programs hosted and monitored by the office. Alumni and friends of Tulane
extend the services of the office by reaching out to Tulane students as internship
hosts, mentors, and career coaches.
