Frequently Asked Questions

Conference and Intern Housing availability is based on Tulane University’s academic calendar and is generally available from June 1through July 31. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate requests in August as our staff is preparing the residence halls for the school year. 

Any undergraduate, graduate, or professional student from another university, who is 18 years old or older, who has a summer internship or summer research project is eligible for our Intern Housing. To request intern housing please complete and submit the Non-Affiliate Application. If you are unclear as to whether you are eligible, please contact Christin Hebert at conferences@tulane.edu and we can discuss your situation. 

We are happy to arrange intern housing for New Orleans companies. Please contact us at conferences@tulane.edu for more information. 

Single and double rooms are available upon request. However, you will share your bathroom with 1-3 other interns in suite-style housing. You can request to be housed with other people. All requests must be mutual. Your roommate would live in the same room as you, and your suitemates would share your bath. In early May, we will make room assignments. As long as your suitemates permit their information to be shared, we will send their information along with your room assignment. 

Conference groups will provide names, email addresses, dates of accommodation, and any special needs/accommodations of all conference attendees. Room lists will be provided by Housing and Residence Life for conference groups to assign rooms. Room assignments should be received by Housing and Residence Life no later than 10 days prior to the group's arrival to Tulane University. 

Depending on the size of your conference group, your conference group may be sharing a facility with another conference group. Only conference group members with room assignments will be allowed access, use, and occupancy of the facility. 

Air-conditioning, wi-fi service, and all utility costs are included in the room rate. Also, with the exception of toilet paper, Housing and Residence Life provides no bathroom supplies. No kitchen supplies such as pots, pans, dishes or cutlery are available. 

Bed and bath linens (2 sheets, 1 blanket, 1 pillow and pillowcase, 1 bath towel) are available for an additional $5 per night per person fee. Beds will not be “made up.” If requested, linens must be ordered for the entire group. We cannot accept individual linen requests. Additionally, Housing and Residence Life will not exchange linens for guests. Free laundry machines are available in each residential facility. 

Parking passes are available to conference groups for an additional fee. 

Access to the Reily Fitness Center is available to conference groups for an additional fee. If requested, Fitness Center passes must be ordered for the entire group. We cannot accept individual Fitness Center pass requests. 

The Conference Housing Reservation Form specifies the housing needs of your group. Before completing the Reservation Form please gather information about the following: 

• Participant, staff and/or chaperone numbers 
• Dates of arrival and departure for staff, early arrivals and participants 
• Tulane University Sponsoring Department contact information and billing information (if applicable)
• Preference on building location and/or style 

Completing a Reservation Form is non-binding; a group can cancel a reservation before the Housing Contract is due. Information can be updated once a reservation is complete but prior to contract creation. The information provided in your Reservation Form will be used to create your contract. The contract covers basic information about your group’s stay, including the number of attendees, dates and other important details. One contract per group/session/camp will be generated. Generally, a group is given 21 days to return a contract.
