Latin American Studies majors and minors at Tulane gain comprehensive knowledge about Latin America through a mixture of academic study, specialized training, and research abroad. Our program embraces research, linguistic fluency, fieldwork, and direct engagement in Latin America and the Caribbean as essential to critical consciousness. The program encourages comparative studies that provide a more profound understanding of differences among socio-cultural systems developed within Latin America, as well as of differences between Latin American systems and others throughout the hemisphere and globe. While the curriculum is principally intended as a vehicle of liberal education, the program also aims to prepare students contemplating business, commerce, communication, government or teaching/research careers in Latin America or the United States. Flexibility and creative individual initiative are the keynotes of our program. All majors and minors work very closely with the Undergraduate Advisor to create a course of study that meets personal goals as well as University and Stone Center requirements. All undergraduate Latin American Studies students are automatically subscribed to an electronic mailing list that informs students of University and Stone Center deadlines, and of Latin America-related events both on and off campus. Major The major in Latin
American Studies is one of the most popular courses of study at Tulane
both as a singular major and as a second major. The B.A. in Latin American
Studies requires a minimum of 30 hours of Latin American content coursework
selected from various departmental and Latin American Studies (LAST)
offerings. Students focus on one of eight thematic concentrations and
must meet a language proficiency requirement in either Spanish or Portuguese
(these standards are described in the Curriculum section). Majors are
encouraged to participate in one of the Tulane programs in Latin America
and to pursue internships both in New Orleans and Latin America. In
order to graduate with departmental honors, qualified majors also write
an Honor’s thesis in their final year of study. Minor The minor in Latin American Studies is a 15-hour program for students majoring in another discipline. Students may also elect to minor in Brazilian Studies. Both minors are excellent for those students who wish to concentrate their work in a specific discipline yet maintain a Latin American focus in their coursework. Course Requirements for Majors & Minors Course Requirements
for Majors & Minors Latin American Studies majors must demonstrate linguistic competency in either Spanish or Portuguese. This can be done in one of three ways: 1. complete with a passing grade at
least one course at the 400-level or higher in Spanish or Portuguese A minor in Latin American Studies consists of 15 credit hours in 5 courses. Required courses include one of the two introductory courses on Latin America: LAST 101 or LAST 102, and four electives, three of which must be at the 200 level or higher, and one of which must be at the 600 level. All 600-level coursework for the minor must be taken in residency at Tulane; courses taken abroad do not count toward this requirement. Three electives must concentrate on one of the themes that are the foundation of the interdisciplinary Latin American Studies program at Tulane: Creativity, Encounter, Exchange, Identity, Land, Nation, Peoples, Welfare. Students will work closely with the Stone Center’s undergraduate advisor to construct a coherent concentration of coursework. Some sample groupings are provided below and a more complete list is available at the Stone Center. There is no language requirement for Latin American Studies minors. Because Latin American content courses are offered in most disciplines, the Stone Center generates and maintains a list of classes that count towards the major and minor prior to the start of each semester. Students should be aware that many Latin American content courses do not have an LAST call number. The current list of courses for each semester is available in the Stone Center for Latin American Studies, on the Stone Center’s website, and on the Registrar’s website. The most current list is available in the Stone Center. Both majors and minors in Latin American
Studies are strongly encouraged to study in Latin America both for the
experience and also because much of the coursework taken abroad counts
toward the Latin American Studies programs. This includes summer programs
in Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru; semester abroad
programs in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico; and Junior Year Abroad Programs
in Argentina and Brazil. Some courses offered in Tulane’s program in
Spain also count toward Latin American Studies. Concentrations The concentration system serves to focus the coursework of Latin American Studies majors and minors in one of the interdisciplinary themes that are the foundation of the Latin American Studies programs at Tulane. Working with the Undergraduate Advisor, students may choose one of the following concentrations:
Sample Courses Note that these lists are not comprehensive and do not account for all of the courses offered in each department nor those that might be offered as special topics in the departments or Latin American Studies. Courses taken abroad and on Tulane summer programs can also count toward the concentrations. Creativity: Encounter: Exchange: Identity: Land: Nation: Peoples: Welfare: *non LAS course; see the college SPC restrictions Course Offerings Introduction to Latin American Studies
I (LAST101) The objective of the course is to introduce students to the region, institutions, and cultural production of Latin America. Students will become familiar with the physical, political, and cultural boundaries of the region and then examine modern Latin America through the use of case studies, primary source materials, discussion and current research. Several sections of this course are offered each spring semester. LAST 102 is designated a service learning course and fulfills the University’s Comparative Cultures and International Perspectives and Perspectives Outside the European Tradition distribution requirements. Introduction to Latin American Studies
II (LAST102) The objective of the course is to introduce students to the region, institutions, and cultural production of Latin America. Students will become familiar with the physical, political, and cultural boundaries of the region and then examine modern Latin America through the use of case studies, primary source materials, discussion and current research. Several sections of this course are offered each semester, including during the summer. LAST 101 is designated a service learning course and fulfills the University’s Comparative Cultures and International Perspectives and Perspectives Outside the European Tradition distribution requirements. Undergraduate Core Seminar in Latin
American Studies (LAST 400) The objectives of the course are: (1)
to create a climate of advanced interdisciplinary research and intellectual
exchange whereby students develop an ability to perform professionally
in an advanced academic setting through seminar discussion and research
paper presentation; (2) to expose students to interdisciplinary methodologies
and thus develop critical thinking skills that The Core Seminar is offered only in the fall semester and fulfills the University’s Writing Intensive Course distribution requirement. Independent Studies (LAST491, LAST492) Students are permitted to design two independent studies in the course of the undergraduate studies at Tulane; however, they may not occur in the same semester. For more information on Independent Studies see Registering for Independent Studies below. Internships (LAST456, LAST457) Students are permitted to earn six internship credits in the course of their undergraduate studies at Tulane; however, they may not occur in the same semester. Service Learning (LAST389) Honors Thesis (LAST499, LAST500) Committed
to the importance of international experience and reinforcing Tulane
University's mission to provide opportunities which help students gain
understanding, acquire knowledge and develop skills for living in a
globally interdependent and culturally diverse world, the Stone Center
for Latin American Studies strongly encourages students to avail themselves
of a variety of overseas programs, including several which are directly
operated by Tulane. These include summer, semester and year-long programs
in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America. Courses
are taught in Spanish, Portuguese, Kaqchikel Maya, and English, with
offerings in Area Studies, Tropical Ecology and Environment, Diaspora
Studies, Business, Linguistics, Public Health, Social Systems, Historic
Preservation, Cultural Studies, International Relations, Art, Anthropology,
and more. The Stone Center for Latin American Studies and Tulane’s Center
for International Studies provide information on these Tulane-affiliated
programs as well as others and facilitate students’ access to such programs.
Academic Year Programs Tulane undergraduate students have the opportunity to study for one or two semesters in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Costa Rica through academic programs administered by the Center for International Studies (http://www.tulane.edu/~intl/) at the prestigious institutions below. Tulane credit and grades are awarded for course work completed while studying for one year or one semester at these institutions.
Students are immersed in the respective Latin American country’s culture as they live and study with other university students. A wide range of courses in the Social Sciences and Humanities is available for academic credit. Summer Programs Each summer the Stone Center hosts a variety of summer programs in Latin America and the Caribbean. Unless specified otherwise, please contact the Stone Center for more information or visit our website. These include programs to:
International Business and Administration Programs The Goldring Institute of International Business offers a variety of programs for undergraduate and graduate students at the following universities:
Please contact the Goldring Institute (http://www.freeman.tulane.edu/goldring/ ) for more information. Student Organizations, Activities, Communications TULASO Tulane’s
Undergraduate Latin American Studies Organization (TULASO) was founded
to bring together undergraduates who share an interest in Latin America,
ranging from career opportunities to cultural experiences to academic
study. It is an independent
organization that collaborates with the Center for Latin American Studies,
the Latin American Graduate Organization (LAGO), faculty members and
other entities to sponsor academic, service and social activities related
to Latin America. All Tulane
students interested in Latin American affairs are invited to join TULASO,
but the organization draws heavily on student majors and minors in Latin
American Studies. Officers
for the organization are elected in the Spring semester and working
committees are formed in the Fall semester. Facilities The Stone Center Lounge, 101 Jones Hall, is for the exclusive use of the Latinamericanist faculty, staff and students, including undergraduate majors and minors. Cleanliness is very important, and we ask that each person pick up before leaving the lounge. If any student would like to post a notice on the bulletin boards, please see the Center’s Administrative Secretary. Activities The Stone Center for Latin American Studies sponsors a variety of events throughout the year including lectures, performances, conferences, and symposia. All undergraduate students are encouraged to attend these events in order to further their study of Latin America outside of the classroom. A portion of the LAST101 and 102 courses are linked to these activities. The Executive Director also sponsors a welcoming reception each fall for all Latin American Studies majors and minors. The reception is attended by faculty associated with Latin American Studies, the Stone Center staff, and other special guests. In addition, there is a celebratory event for all graduating seniors in Latin American Studies each spring. TULASO sponsors two live music events each semester, often in collaboration with other undergraduate student groups. These Pachangas en el Patio feature local and international musicians who perform a variety of music from Latin America and the Caribbean. The entire Tulane community is invited to attend. Communication All
undergraduate students who major or minor in Latin American Studies
are automatically added to an electronic mailing list for undergraduates.
This list is the main source of communication between students
and the Stone Center. Announcements
appear regularly on the list on topics such as University and Center
deadlines, musical events, lectures, or any special events in Latin
American Studies.
The Center for Latin American Studies maintains bulletin boards both in the Lounge and hallway. If any student would like to post a notice on the bulletin boards, please see the Center’s Administrative Secretary. Tulane
University seeks to offer educational opportunities to qualified students
regardless of their current ability to meet their expenses.
Toward this end, the University extends financial aid, based
on need and merit, through scholarships, grants, loans, and campus employment.
More detailed information on programs available, eligibility
requirements, and the application process is available from the Financial
Aid Office. Monies
for research, special project and academic travel are available through
the Newcomb Foundation and Paul Tulane College for students enrolled
in those colleges. Students
must submit detailed proposals to apply for these funds from their respective
Deans’ offices where application materials, guidelines and annual
deadlines are available. Students in Latin American Studies have been
successful in garnering these funds for summer research, special projects,
thesis development and travel to domestic or foreign sites and conferences. Each
year the Center selects one or two Senior Scholars from among those
graduating with Honors in Latin American Studies to be recognized as
the top performing students of the department. Senior Scholars candidates are evaluated on depth and breadth of study (as demonstrated by coursework within and beyond LAST major), GPA (overall and in the major), level of academic engagement (participation in conferences and extracurricular academic events), community service (with local Latino community and abroad), performance in LAST 400, quality and coherence of major/concentration (written in LAST 400), and originality, significance and over-all quality of thesis. Students must defend their thesis at least two weeks before the final class day to be eligible for Senior Scholar distinction. The award is recognized
at the Graduation Ceremony and the closing Honors Banquet. The
Stone Center for Latin American Studies has competitions annually for
the best academic paper in the Social Sciences (The M. Karen Bracken
Award) and in the Humanities (The Alberto Vázquez Award) by an undergraduate
major or minor. The competition
is decided in late spring by a standing committee which judges submissions
forwarded by the faculty. The
Prize Committee considers work produced in either semester of an academic
year. Students may qualify for Pell Grants, Stafford Loans, Parents Plus Loans, or other non-Tulane based sources of funding that can be used on Tulane Semester Abroad Programs. Tulane merit-based and need-based scholarships are non-applicable, at the time of this publication, to Semester Abroad Programs. Faculty or staff tuition waivers are also not applicable to Semester Abroad Programs. Tulane administered financial aid is not applicable to non-Tulane study abroad programs. Additional Policies and Procedures General Policies Declaring the Major and Minor Students may declare their majors as early as their first semester of enrollment but must choose them by the fourth semester of college work. In order to declare a major, a student must fill out the Major Declaration Form which is available through the Academic Advising Center or from the Latin American Studies undergraduate advisor. The student must then bring the form to the Center for Latin American Studies in order to meet with the Undergraduate Advisor for counseling on the requirements of the degree program. At this time, the form will be signed by the Undergraduate Advisor. The form then must be returned to the Academic Advising Center for processing. Those students seeking assistance with the transfer of credit, should speak with either a college division academic advisor or the Undergraduate Advisor in the Center for Latin American Studies. Registration 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 daling 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. Students registering at Tulane for the first time are required to see their academic advisor before classes begin to make needed adjustments in the courses previously selected as well as to discuss academic options in general. Voluntary Withdrawal A student who has registered for a semester and plans to withdraw from the division in which they are enrolled must inform the associate dean. After the last day to drop courses, a student withdrawing from the division without adequate reason, as determined by the associate dean, will receive WF grades. Students should consult with the associate dean of their school for more information. Medical Withdrawal A withdrawal from courses for medical reasons requires an official letter of recommendation from a physician in the Student Health Center and the approval of the dean. Students needing a medical withdrawal should, if possible, report to the associate dean before going to the health service for an evaluation. Medical withdrawal letters issued by the Student Health Center should be delivered to the associate dean's office within 48 hours after they are issued. W grades are assigned when a student withdraws from one or more courses for medical reason after the last day to drop without record. A partial medical withdrawal (from some but not all courses) or incomplete grades in one or more courses may be permitted upon the recommendation of the Student Health Center. Students requesting a partial medical withdrawal must confer with the associate dean (or designate) of their college, who makes the final decision on this matter. Withdrawals from individual courses for medical reasons are not given for the last two weeks of classes. The deadline for medical withdrawals from all courses is the last day of classes each term. Requests for retroactive medical withdrawals normally are not approved. Required Withdrawal A student may be required to withdraw from any course or from the university, temporarily or permanently, for any of the following reasons: possibility of danger to the health of the student or to that of other students if enrollment is continued; refusal to obey regulations; violation of the Honor Code or other serious misconduct; unsatisfactory class attendance; or work below the required scholastic standards. Leaves of Absence Students
who voluntarily leave a division of the University and return to that
particular division within one calendar year will be allowed to continue
study under the degree requirements in effect for them at the time they
left. Any student returning
to the University after more than one year or after having been dismissed
will be required to complete the degree requirements in effect at the
time of readmission. Students
taking a leave who wish to receive registration materials and to pre-register
for classes during the priority period may formally file for a leave
of absence of up to one year.
Students who are allowed a one-year leave of absence are not
required to complete a readmission application; however, they should
submit a letter-of-intent to resume study at least eight weeks prior
to the semester in which they wish to return.
Students who leave a division without formal approval for a leave
of absence must file an application for readmission and will not receive
registration materials until after their readmission has been processed.
The deadline for applying for a leave of absence is the last
day to register or add courses in the semester after the last regular
semester of a student’s enrollment. Students who do not return to Tulane University for a particular
term and do not request a leave of absence by the deadline for doing
so are not eligible to return without applying for readmission. Advising Within the Stone Center for Latin American Studies The Undergraduate Advisor is available to assist any student interested in Latin American Studies with decisions regarding coursework, independent studies, internships, study abroad opportunities, and career counseling. While it is not compulsory to seek advising, it is an integral part of the Latin American Studies degree program and all majors and minors in Latin American Studies are encouraged to meet with the Undergraduate Advisor each semester to evaluate their course of study. In the weeks before any registration period, course information listing Latin American offerings in associated departments is compiled and made available in the Stone Center offices and on the Center’s website. After considering the list, students should make an appointment to discuss the offerings and learn the recommendations of the department. The Undergraduate Advisor is your first stop for information on the Latin American Studies program. Career Advising In addition to the professional advice you may gain from Tulane’s Career Services Center and your professors, the Stone Center for Latin American Studies prepares you for the world of work or graduate school in a specially designed course for Latin American area specialists. The Undergraduate Core Seminar (LAST 400) explores the advantages of interdisciplinary approaches, career paths to pursue, ways to present yourself and many of the options available to you. Students collect, review, and compare information on internships, jobs, and programs at multiple sites in the United States and Latin America. TULASO also offers an annual workshop
series geared toward preparing students for future academic work. The
series draws upon the expertise of Stone Center affiliated faculty members
and graduate students and guides undergraduate students through the
process of preparing, submitting, and presenting academic research papers
in a conference setting. University Advising For first- and second-year students who have not declared majors, the center serves as a primary point of contact, and the center’s staff assists students to refine their academic goals, understand their choices, and assess their options, while emphasizing the belief that the students shoulder ultimate responsibility for making decisions about educational plans and setting goals and objectives. The center will continue to serve juniors and seniors to ensure progress toward their degrees, complementing the work of faculty advisers in the schools. The role of advisors is to give information and, when appropriate, to offer opinions or make recommendations. Students have the responsibility for making their own decisions, monitoring their progress toward the baccalaureate degree, and meeting all degree requirements. Note, however, that due to the interdisciplinary nature of the Latin American Studies degree, only the Undergraduate Advisor in the Stone Center can certify students for graduation. Majors and minors in Latin American Studies should therefore work closely with the Undergraduate Advisor at least during their final year of study to ensure that all degree requirements are met. Grades General Students
must maintain a 2.0 average in the major program to satisfy the degree
requirements of Latin American Studies.
The grade-point average is determined by dividing the total number
of quality points by the total number of quality hours (see Undergraduate
Catalogue for more information on quality points). Federal
law prohibits the release of grades or other confidential information
to third parties, including parents and guardians, unless the student
provides written authorization for release of such information to the
associate dean. Such as
request may be made by the student at any time. Incompletes An incomplete grade, I, is given at the discretion of instructors when, in their view, special circumstances prevent a student from completing work assigned during the semester and with the understanding that the remaining work can be completed within 30 days. Incomplete grades also are given when a student’s absence from a final examination has been excused by the Newcomb-Tulane College dean prior to or within one day following the final examination. Incomplete grades must be resolved within 30 days of the end of the semester or they are changed to Fs. The I will remain on the student’s transcript, accompanied by the final course grade. Extensions of the 30-day deadline must be requested in writing by the student and must be approved by the instructor and the Newcomb-Tulane College dean. Extensions are approved only when a student has made an attempt to complete the missing work within the original 30-day period but, in the view of the instructor and Newcomb-Tulane College, has been prevented from completing the work by some special circumstance beyond the student’s control. Extensions must be approved before the 30-day deadline expires; extensions are not approved retroactively.
When
students have a complaint to register about a particular class, a professor
or a grade, they should make an appointment with the Assistant Undergraduate
Advisor. See Grievance section
below. Academic Grievances In
most cases grievances grow out of courses.
It is important to understand that grievances attach to the department
in which a course is offered. Thus, if a student in the Latin American
Studies interdisciplinary program seeks to resolve a problem arising
from a Sociology course, it must be pursued through the Sociology Department.
Courses which originate in the Center for Latin American Studies
will be handled by the appropriate Center administrators.
In every case disputes are handled at the lowest level first
(discuss the problem with the professor) and then move up the Center
and, finally, college chain. The university grievance policy is available either in the Center or in the college division office. It is a lengthy document which describes procedures to be followed when the Center procedures have not worked to satisfy all parties. The Center for Latin American Studies policy is as follows:
Registration for Independent Studies Students
interested in designing an independent study for credit in Latin American
Studies should use the following process: (1) The student selects a
faculty member appropriate for the topic of the proposed study and secures
his/her willingness to direct the independent study; (2) The student
then devises a maximum 13 character title (including spaces) for the
proposed independent study, which will subsequently appear on the student’s
transcript; (3) The student and faculty director decide on the format,
workload, and method of evaluation for the independent study and put
this in writing, accompanied by the faculty director’s signature;
(4) Finally, the student submits all materials, including a completed
proposal form, which is obtained from the Center for Latin American
Studies, to the Undergraduate Advisor in the Center for Latin American
Studies, who will then approve the independent study and formally register
the student for the independent study. Students
interested in an internship for credit in Latin American Studies should
use the following process: (1) The student selects a faculty member
and secures his/her willingness to sponsor the internship; (2) The student
then devises a maximum 13 character title (including spaces) for the
proposed internship, which will subsequently appear on the student’s
transcript as either LAST 456, 457 (Internship Studies); (3) The student
and faculty sponsor, in consultation with the cooperating agency or
business, decide on the format, workload, and method of evaluation for
both the academic and experiential components of the internship and
put this in writing, accompanied by the faculty sponsor’s signature;
(4) Finally, the student submits all materials, including a completed
proposal form, which is obtained from the Center for Latin American
Studies, to the Undergraduate Advisor in the Center for Latin American
Studies, who will then approve the internship and formally register
the student for the internship. A
student may not take a salaried position outside the university while
earning credit for an internship, except where such an arrangement is
required by the cooperating organization for insurance purposes.
If a student must take a salaried position for this reason, a
letter to this effect from the cooperating organization must be filed
with the chair of the sponsoring department prior to the end of the
add period. An
alternative internship experience is offered to Newcomb Tulane College
students through the offices of the associate deans of the colleges.
This internship was created to accommodate students seeking internships
with organizations, which required that interns earn credit for their
experience. INTR 199 carries
one credit, which will apply toward the degree but will not apply toward
any proficiency, distribution, major, or minor requirement.
Only one credit of INTR 199 may be applied toward the degree.
INTR 199 must be taken on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S/U)
basis and will count as one of the three allowable S/U courses. Students who have completed fewer than 30 credits may not register
for this course. Students
desiring to register for INTR 199 must receive approval in the associate
dean’s office before registering for the course.
Registration for Honors Thesis Students who have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.400 and a GPA of at least 3.500 in Latin American content courses may consider writing the honors thesis. Students with a second major have the option of garnering departmental honors in both majors. There are two honors options: (1) For students pursuing University Honors with the degrees magna cum laude and summa cum laude who maintain a 3.6 or 3.8 GPA and are enrolled in Tulane’s Honors Program; or (2) For student pursuing cum laude with departmental honors who have a 3.4 GPA overall and a 3.6 in the major. The Honors Thesis procedure is the same for both options, and both are administered through Tulane's Honors Deptartment. During spring of the junior year, a student who expects to graduate with departmental or university honors should consult with the Undergraduate Advisor and should verify eligibility with an academic advisor in the Academic Advising Center. Students select a thesis director and register for Honors Thesis LAST499 (3 credits) at the beginning of the first semester of their senior year. By mid-semester, the student must submit a prospectus that has been approved and signed by the thesis director and a second reader. A first progress report, approved and signed by the thesis director and the second reader at the end of the first semester, indicates whether the thesis is to be continued or terminated. If the thesis is to continue, the student will enroll in LAST500 (4 credits). A second progress report is due in the middle of the second semester and a complete draft of the thesis is due a month before the projected date of graduation. Two weeks before graduation the thesis must be completed; the oral examination is held after all other requirements have been met. Students expecting to graduate in December should meet with their department chair or honors advisor one-year prior to graduation to determine eligibility for departmental honors. In addition to successful completion and defense of the thesis, Latin American Studies requires that departmental honors students achieve an A- or better in the Core Seminar and participate in the Honors Thesis Workshops offered during the senior academic year. Students expecting to graduate in December should meet with the Undergraduate Advisor one year prior to graduation to determine eligibility for departmental honors. For the calendar of departmental deadlines for academic year 07-08, contact the Undergraduate Advisor in the Stone Center. Graduation Certification In the final semester of your senior year the Stone Center is contacted by your dean’s office to certify that you have completed all of the requirements to graduate with the Latin American Studies major. Therefore, the advising appointment that you have with the Undergraduate Advisor before your final registration also includes a review and audit of your transcript to make sure that everything will be in order when graduation occurs. Departmental Honors To be eligible for graduation with departmental honors, a student must earn a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.400 and a grade-point average of at least 3.500 in courses counting toward the major, and must successfully complete an honors thesis or project. Please see Registration for Honors Thesis. Deadlines & Important Dates Please visit http://www.tulane.edu/~registra/index.shtml for up-to-date university dates and deadlines. NOTE: It is vital for students to be aware of the deadlines of their own divisions. Students should check with the Dean's office of their college division for more information on important deadlines.
