iGlobal Instructions

To access iGlobal and complete the check-in process, you will need the following:

  • Your Tulane username and password. Your username is the first part of your Tulane email, name@tulane.edu. Your password is your email password. This information was emailed to your personal email account when you were admitted to Tulane. If you have not received a Tulane email, please visit your department for assistance.
  • Your Tulane ID number. This number was also emailed to your personal email account, and it appears on your Tulane ID card (Splash Card). Uptown students can get their Splash Card at the LBC, Room 107 (Building 29), and downtown students can get their Splash Card at Tidewater, Room 802 (Building 3).
  • Clear images of your passport (biographical page, visa page, and entry stamp), and I-94. Scanners are available at the Howard Tilton Memorial Library (Building 60), or you may take clear pictures with your smartphone.
  • Your local address. This must be a residential address, not a P.O. Box.

You will also have access to an address/update form.  You do not need to fill in that form if you’ve already submitted your check-in form.  You can submit it at a later time if any of your information has changed and you need to update us.
