The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the U.S. government tax authority, requires Tulane University to collect information from all non-U.S. citizens and permanent residents to determine the appropriate rate of tax withholding and reporting for any payments that may be made to such individuals. GLACIER is the online tax compliance system used by non-resident aliens at Tulane University to satisfy this IRS requirement.
To request access to GLACIER, please contact ITO at ito@tulane.edu.

All non-U.S. citizens and permanent residents receiving payments from Tulane must use GLACIER. Employees who need to create a GLACIER record will be programmatically identified based on their Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification) or self-reported citizenship status and will receive an email invitation to their Tulane email address.
Individuals identified as requiring a GLACIER record will receive an email to their Tulane email address notifying them of this requirement. The email will provide a link that will provide the access information for GLACIER. A U.S. Social Security Number is not required for an individual to complete a GLACIER record.
I'm setting up my account for the first time. What do I need to do for my initial log in?
Upon initial login to GLACIER, the individual will receive a second-step verification email and must click the hyperlink to return to GLACIER. A new user ID and password must then be created. The individual can use the newly-created User ID and password in the future to renew a tax treaty exemption (if applicable), change other information entered in GLACIER, etc.
When should I update my GLACIER profile?
If there are any changes to personal data or immigration status, individuals must log in to GLACIER, update the record, and re-submit forms and documents. The following changes require updates to GLACIER:
- Receipt of SSN or ITIN
- Immigration status change
- Change in expected departure from the U.S. date
- Change in payment type
Providing updated GLACIER forms and documents immediately will allow the International Tax Office to make necessary changes to comply with federal nonresident tax laws.
