Orientation

COVID-19-Update: Tufts University is closely monitoring the ongoing situation regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its impact on the start of the fall semester as well as Undergraduate Orientation. While we continue to plan for an on-campus fall semester, no decision about when students may come or return to campus has been made. Our priority is the health and safety of our community, and our decisions will be made in consultation with local and state health authorities. As soon as decisions are made, they will be communicated to students and families so everyone can plan accordingly. 

We are committed to providing a welcoming and informative Orientation for incoming students, and look forward to getting to know each of you this fall. As of now, all 2020-2021 academic dates and deadlines on the Academic Calendar remain as scheduled. For additional information, including frequently asked questions, please visit go.tufts.edu/coronavirus.

In the meantime, Undergraduate Admissions has many helpful resources on their website. You can join their mailing list, take a virtual tour, explore their blogs, and browse the admissions magazine.

Welcome First-Year and Transfer Students! Orientation 2020 is scheduled for September 2 - 7, 2020 and the Undergraduate Orientation Office is excited to welcome you and your families to Tufts. Everyone at Tufts is here to help you and your family understand the expectations and opportunities you will encounter as a member of the Tufts community. 

Please note: While all dates posted on our Orientation website are for 2020, some individual materials currently posted are from Orientation 2019. We keep these materials posted for your reference until updated materials become available. Questions? Contact Orientation@tufts.edu.
