In addition, over the summer incoming students may access a full listing of academic requirements and information sessions through Academic Essentials on Canvas which will conclude with choosing fall courses towards the end of August, prior to arrival. 

The Undergraduate Orientation team will be in regular contact with new students and families throughout the summer in preparation for Fall 2025. If you have questions, please contact orientation@tufts.edu.
