Spring 2023 Semester Update

Enrollment and Billing

You need to add/drop classes by Friday, January 27, 2023 (Per the Registrar’s Office)

Academic Calendar | Office of the University Registrar (tulane.edu)

Because billing is adjusted manually, it does take time for your bill to be correctly processed.  Bills should be corrected by Friday, February 3, 2023.   Most billing corrections occur within 10 business days of the last add/drop action completed in the system.

If you have an issue with your bill (AFTER February 3, 2023), then you may send me an email with your concern.   I cannot fix your bill, but I can view it and make inquiries with Accounts Receivable and Financial Aid regarding your concern.

Tulane Fee information can be found on the Tulane Accounts Receivable website.

 

Degree Audit and Transcript Review

At the beginning of the semester is a good time to sit down with your department academic advisor to review your transcript and degree audit.

MS students require at least 30 credit hours and a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate.

PhD students require at least 48 credit hours and a 3.0 GPA in order to graduate. PhD students should complete their Prospectus and be Admitted into Candidacy at least 6 months prior to graduation.
