The 2025 Mardi Gras Guest Registration Form will open on December 4, 2024.
During Mardi Gras, Tulane University residents are extended the privilege to host one guest per resident. If their guest is not a Tulane student they must register their guest with Housing & Residence Life prior to their guest arriving on campus. Guests staying on campus must be at least 18 years of age by February 5th, 2025.
The Mardi Gras Agreement and Mardi Gras Guest Registration Form are part of the process Housing and Residence Life has implemented to approve and track guests during Mardi Gras.
