Leadership and management of the facilities and programs is provided by a full time professional staff of 23 and a part-time student staff of approximately 200, which makes Campus recreation the largest student employer on campus.

Club & Intramural sportsWith a wide range of recreational team and individual league sports and tournaments, there is something for everyone. Club Sports tend to attract


tulane GuIDe

students with a little more experience in a sport or a willingness to learn. Clubs receive funding and may even travel to compete in different venues. This is a great option for a student who has a sport they would like to continue in college without participating in InterCollegiate athletics. Intramural Sports allow groups of students to informally participate in seasonal sports as a team. Many residence hall floors and fraternities participate in an effort to build relationships.

Group Fitness & Personal TrainingIn an effort to boost metabolism, confidence and maintain wellness, the reily recreation Center offers more than 60 free group exercise classes each week. Powered by high-energy music, challenging exercises, and motivating

instructors, group classes are designed to make fitness goals easily attainable by providing a fun and energizing workout. The personal training program offers many options and packages with various fee scales for students who need new workout ideas, inspiration, or extra motivation.

Outdoor recreationWith more than 20 trips per semester, at a nominal fee, students can explore the Gulf-South region and discover new skills. This program has grown in popularity over the past few years and is a “must-do” for new students. Even if your student does not like camping, canoeing, hiking or rafting – there is something for everyone including visiting local festivals as a group. Want to give your student a great gift, consider booking one of the fall or spring break trips as a surprise!

eVACuATION PlANsOffice of Emergency Response Tulane.edu/emergencyTulane University has a streamlined and effective plan in case of a hurricane, tropical storm or other emergency that might impact our University community. Students and parents will receive instructions on how to develop a family hurricane evacuation plan during new Student Orientation; students will receive detailed information via mail over the summer and upon arriving on campus in august. Below are some tips to creating your family hurricane evacuation plan and in understanding our University plan.

DeVelOPING A PlAN

⊲ Discuss in advance where your student will go in the case of a University evacuation. Most students travel to a designated relative or friend’s home within a 250-mile radius of new Orleans or via short flight.

⊲ Determine an alternate way of communicating, should cell phone service be interrupted. We suggest having a family friend that your student should check-in with, and whom you can contact for updates.

⊲ resources for developing a family plan are available on our website and at getagameplan.org.

OFFICe OF sTuDeNT

CONDuCTLavin-Bernick Center, Garden Level, Suite G02

(504) [email protected] http://tulane.edu/studentaffairs/conduct/index.cfm The Office of Student Conduct manages all non-academic misconduct allegations for Tulane students. The goal of the Student Conduct system is to educate students about appropriate behavior and foster a community in which academic success can occur. We encourage parents to discuss responsible decision-making with students and review

Tulane’s expectations for its students, as set forth in the Code of Student Conduct, before they arrive in august.

The Office of Student Conduct hopes that students will keep their parents informed about their lives at Tulane. however federal regulations require that, except in cases involving alcohol use by a student under the age of 21, drugs, or incidents of violence, or in cases where the student poses a threat to the health or safety of himself or others, a student must have a signed FErPa waiver on file before we can discuss his or her conduct record, even with parents. FErPa waivers are available at http://tulane.edu/parents/upload/FErParelease091207.pdf

bruff swipes – are often listed in the meal plan as unlimited or with a per-week total. Each swipe of the card marks an entrance into the Bruff Dining hall where students can eat all they like. The dining hall is a very popular place for new and first year students to spend time together throughout the day.

Wavebuck$ – are the dining dollars provided as a part of the meal plan to be used in on-campus locations like the LBC Food Court, PJ’s Coffee, and Mcalister Market. This balance also declines throughout the semester, but is not taxed. any remaining balance from the Fall semester will roll over into Spring; deposits can be added via diningservices.tulane.edu with the purchase of a spring meal plan.

NOlAbuck$ - are off-campus dining dollars that can be used at several area restaurants. There is only a $25 placeholder in this account to start, however, students can add money via diningservices.tulane.edu.

Meal Plan Options: residential first year students have three options – and they each cost $2,575.

Flex 275 – This is the most popular and has been for the past few years! Students have unlimited access to the Bruff Dining hall and a slightly smaller amount of WaveBuck$.

Flex 350 – This is the best of both plan where students still have two to three meals per day in the Bruff Dining hall (with the 50 extras just in case) and they have the largest pool of WaveBuck$.

Flex 300 – This plan was designed to give students more options, but does not seem as valuable. While students still have two to three meals per day in Bruff, they are also given a higher number of extra meals to supplement. Finally, this plan allows for a median pool of WaveBuck$.

Commuter plans are available online.

resources for ParentsMonthly e-Newsletters: Parents are enrolled using the e-mail address listed on the student’s application to Tulane, but can be updated by clicking the tab at the bottom of each e-newsletter. If you need to sign up, go to parents.tulane.edu, click on E-newsletters and put your e-mail address in the sign-up box. Parents of new students will receive bi-monthly e-newsletters through the summer, which will turn into monthly issues in august.

Webinars: Typically held monthly, these online seminars are a great way to stay informed on timely topics related to your student’s college experience. Please register online in advance, this service is free and only requires an internet connection to use!

FAQ list: We offer a very extensive list of topics and questions that parents typically ask with links to answers online. Please visit parents.tulane.edu and click on the resources tab.

Contact us with questions: you can reach us at (1-877) TUP-WaVE or via e-mail at [email protected]. During busy periods, please allow up to 48 hours for us to respond. also, we do not typically staff the office on weekends.

Pelican Partners: Experienced, Tulane parents who agree to serve as e-mail resources for other Tulane

parents. you can find an up-to-date list of our Pelican Partners, listed by region, at parents.tulane.edu.

Campus life lingo

as your student settles into life on campus, you’ll hear him or her mentioning the names of different tools, resources and places used every day. here’s a glossary of those terms to help you keep up:

splash CardThe Tulane “Splash Card” is their identification card. It’s a multi-purpose card that allows access to residence halls and the reily recreation Center, serves as a library card and a meal plan card and even as a kind of charge and debit card. Those different functions have terms of their own.

Debit – a declining balance from funds that are deposited that can be used in campus snack machines; copiers and printers; campus eateries and at local off-campus vendors who are part of the nOLa Buck$ program (Visit splashcard.tulane.edu for a complete list.) Deposits are accepted online, via automated cash deposit stations, and via mailed check.

A/r charge-- This is an unlimited charge where students can apply health center charges, books, computers, and other on-campus needs directly to the tuition bill, by simply swiping their card.

Tulane Parent University 101: This section contains resources offered by the Office of Orientation and Parent Programs, a glossary of terms that will help you understand everyday aspects of life on campus, and other information to help you throughout the year.

Tips for Parenting Your

New College studentIt is safe to say that times have changed from when you may have been a college student. Today’s student relationships, obstacles and even risky behaviors can be very different. There are so many ‘guide to parenting a college student’ books out there, but we have collected suggestions from current Tulane parents of what you can do ahead of time to ease the transition for your family.

1. have discussions about your expectations for their conduct. There are many potential diversions and behaviors that can derail your child’s education completely such as cheating, plagiarizing,

rESOUrCES

unwelcome sexual activity, drug use and excessive drinking. Do not wait to discuss these sensitive topics in anger or crisis. no matter what your experience has been with your student until this point, the new freedoms of college life are sometimes hard for students to navigate – no matter who they are.

2. Encourage your student early on to get involved to fill up some idle time. Part time jobs, volunteer activities, participation in sports and internships should be expected. We suggest parents sit down with their student to discuss possible activities they want to pursue prior to leaving for college so they will have a reference point to ask

GibsonOnlineGibson Online is a gateway from the Tulane website to a variety of online services. you’ll hear students referring to this often. **PAreNTs shOulD NOT use The sTuDeNT’s PAssWOrD TO ACCess The GIbsON ONlINe POrTAl!**

⊲ NetPay – Students can access this system to view and pay their university bill online. Students may add parents as a “payer” in their profile which will allow parents to receive an e-mail copy of the tuition bill periodically and be contacted with updates and reminders. Discuss activating that option with your student if sharing access is a concern.

⊲ Course scheduling – Students can continue browsing courses and making updates to their schedule as needed. There will be times when the registrar will restrict this feature.

⊲ Ordering books – Once students have a set course schedule for the fall, they can enter the bookstore portal and it will tell them which books are required for the course. Students can purchase the books ahead of time and the bookstore will package them for pick-up during move-in weekend.

⊲ splash Card accounts – all students’ Splash card accounts can be viewed in this site and the student can make online deposits as well.

The “sOC”The SOC (Student Organizations Center) in the Garden Level of the LBC houses the Office of Student Programs, its staff offices and resources for student-funded and student-led organizations. advisors for the student organizations can assist students with finding opportunities for co-curricular involvement on campus.

FAQs “Fridays on the Quad” events are near-weekly programs on late Friday afternoons featuring local music groups and food. These gatherings offer an easy way to meet up with friends and relax after a week of classes.

students about when calling. you might make these suggestions:

⊲ Continue in something from high

school that interested them –

sport, club, or academic interest

⊲ Don’t take on too many things

right away – ease into it

⊲ Start by going to group meetings

to see which ones are for you

– drop those that aren’t right

⊲ Take advantage of open, large,

university-wide events on campus!

3. Don’t give your new college student too much money! Students should be accountable for their spending. By creating a budget and making your student stick to it…you will be doing both of you a favor!

4. Listen to your inner voice. Parents of college students should use their intuition when they suspect something is wrong. If your college student son or daughter misses a phone time with you, cuts calls short or cannot be reached then you have good reason to be wary. This issue of communication can be a serious issue so, set expectations of how often they will text, call, e-mail, etc. prior to the start of college.

5. There is a difference between advising and guiding your new college student and hovering or getting too involved. Most parents are very involved in selecting the college, helping their children navigate problems in their life, but the difference now is that we need to let them learn to do it for themselves. It is hard, but you want your adult to be capable of handling life situations and to ask for help instead of asking you to fix it. Try not to take care of their problems for them. Listen, offer a suggestion of someone at Tulane for them to talk with, but be prepared for them to make, and learn from, mistakes.
