Orientation includes arrival/move-in, as well as many critical programs that will introduce you to your new home at Tufts University. Tufts also offers eight optional Pre-Orientation programs, which take place prior to Undergraduate Orientation.
Pre-Orientation Move-In will be Friday, August 22. New Student Move-In for students not participating in Pre-Orientation will be Wednesday, August 27. Orientation begins on Wednesday, August 27 as well. More information regarding Move-In and Orientation will be added on these pages throughout the academic year.
The Matriculation Ceremony officially welcomes incoming students to Tufts University. Parents and families are welcome to attend the ceremony; it will also be livestreamed.
New Student Checklist
The New Student Checklist will guide students through the summer and detail out several requirements they must complete prior to arrival. 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.
