First-Year and Transfer Students

The Undergraduate Orientation team will be in regular contact with you and your family throughout the summer to provide you with all of the information you need to get ready for the Fall semester. You also will receive an online checklist of requirements to complete prior to your arrival.

During orientation, you’ll participate in programming to get acquainted with resources at Tufts and start making valuable connections with fellow classmates, professors, and administrators.

First Generation Students

The FIRST Resource Center was founded to create a community of support and to develop a network of resources for Tufts University’s first generation, low-income, and undocumented populations. FIRST welcomes any student who self identifies with the first generation college student experience. By strengthening the bonds between our community members and bridging the gap between Tufts’ resources and first gen students, FIRST aims to ensure that first-gens are empowered in, and prepared to reach their full social, professional, and academic potentials.
