The student body of Tulane University is represented by the Associated Student Body (ASB). In 1998, the students of Tulane University voted by referendum to split the Associated Student Body (ASB) Senate into two separate houses, the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) and the Graduate and Professional Student Association (GAPSA). USG and GAPSA came together twice a semester to meet as the ASB Senate, where issues pertaining to the entire Tulane student body were discussed, presided over by the ASB President. However, starting in 2021, Tulane students and administrators collaborated to create a new student governance model. The USG was dissolved, and in its place, the Tulane Undergraduate Assembly (TUA) was formed.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Evolution Process {{!}} Tulane Undergraduate Assembly |url=https://tua.tulane.edu/evolution-process/ |access-date=2024-07-08 |website=tua.tulane.edu}}</ref>

Tulane maintains 3,600 beds in 14 residence halls on its uptown campus for undergraduate students. First year residence halls include Warren House, Sharp Hall, Monroe Hall, Paterson Hall, Josephine Louise Hall, Wall Hall, and Butler Hall.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Housing {{!}} Undergraduate Admission|url=https://admission.tulane.edu/student-life/housing|access-date=March 1, 2021|website=admission.tulane.edu}}</ref> Sophomore residence halls include Aron Residences, Décou-Labat Residences, Greenbaum Hall, Lake Hall, River Hall, and Weatherhead Hall. Per the Renewal Plan instituted after Hurricane Katrina, Tulane requires all freshmen and sophomores to live on campus, except those who are from surrounding neighborhoods in New Orleans. Due to the increasing size of incoming classes, Tulane has allowed a small number of rising sophomores to reside off campus instead of being required to remain in campus housing. Housing is not guaranteed for juniors and seniors.

Tulane competes in [[NCAA Division I]] as a member of the [[American Athletic Conference]] (The American). The university was a charter member of the [[Southeastern Conference]], in which it competed until 1966. Just before leaving the SEC, it had notably become the first conference school to field a [[African Americans|black]] athlete when Stephen Martin, who was on an academic scholarship, played on the baseball team in the 1966 season.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.nola.com/tulane/index.ssf/2013/05/tulane_community_mourns_passin.html |title=Tulane community mourns death of SEC pioneer Stephen Martin |first=Tammy |last=Nunez |newspaper=[[The Times-Picayune]] |date=May 15, 2013 |access-date=July 13, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151016223503/http://www.nola.com/tulane/index.ssf/2013/05/tulane_community_mourns_passin.html |archive-date=October 16, 2015 |url-status=live }}</ref> Tulane, along with other academically oriented, private schools had considered forming the "Southern Ivy League" ([[Magnolia League|Magnolia Conference]]) in the 1950s. Tulane's intercollegiate sports include [[college football|football]], [[college baseball|baseball]], men's and women's [[College basketball#Division I|basketball]], women's volleyball, men's and women's [[track and field|track]], men's and women's [[tennis]], and [[cross country running|cross country]], women's [[swimming (sport)|swimming]] and [[Diving (sport)|diving]], women's [[tennis]], women's [[golf]], women's [[bowling]], and women's [[beach volleyball]]. Tulane's graduation rate for its student-athletes consistently ranks among the top of Division I athletics programs.

Tulane Green Wave teams have seen moderate success over the years. The school's national championships have all come from men's [[tennis]], with one [[NCAA Men's Tennis Championship#Team champions|team title]] in 1959 and multiple [[NCAA Men's Tennis Championship#Singles|singles]] and [[NCAA Men's Tennis Championship#Doubles|doubles]] titles. The [[Tulane Green Wave baseball|baseball team]] has won multiple conference titles, and in both [[2001 College World Series|2001]] and [[2005 College World Series|2005]], it finished with 56 wins and placed 5th at the [[College World Series]]. The women's basketball team has won multiple conference titles and gone to numerous [[NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship|NCAA tournaments]]. The women's volleyball team won the 2008 Conference USA Championship tournament.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tulane.edu/news/newwave/112508_volleyball.cfm |title=Volleyball Continues Historic Run |publisher=New Wave |date=November 25, 2008 |access-date=September 13, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402002103/http://tulane.edu/news/newwave/112508_volleyball.cfm |archive-date=April 2, 2012}}</ref> The Green Wave [[Tulane Green Wave football|football team]] won the [[2002 Hawaii Bowl]], the [[1970 Liberty Bowl]], and the [[1935 Sugar Bowl|inaugural Sugar Bowl]].

Most administrative and athletic support facilities are located in the Wilson Athletic Center in the center of Tulane's athletic campus. The adjacent area was once home to [[Tulane Stadium]], which seated more than 80,000 people, held three [[Super Bowl]]s, was home to the [[New Orleans Saints]], and gave rise to the [[Sugar Bowl]]. Home football games moved to the [[Mercedes-Benz Superdome]] when it opened in 1975, and Tulane Stadium was demolished in 1980. The university has committed to upgrading its athletic facilities in recent years, extensively renovating [[Greer Field at Turchin Stadium|Turchin Stadium]] (baseball) in 2008, [[Devlin Fieldhouse|Fogelman Arena]] (now Devlin Fieldhouse; basketball and volleyball) in 2006 and 2012,<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/blog/eye-on-college-basketball/20151213/trippin-tulane-rebuilds-its-program-from-players-to-facilities| title=Trippin': Tulane rebuilds its program from players to facilities| first=Matt| last=Norlander| work=CBS Sports| date=September 11, 2012| access-date=September 13, 2012| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130521073330/http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/blog/eye-on-college-basketball/20151213/trippin-tulane-rebuilds-its-program-from-players-to-facilities| archive-date=May 21, 2013| url-status=live}}</ref> and Goldring Tennis Center in 2008. The Hertz Center, a new practice facility for the basketball and volleyball teams that includes athletic training and strength and conditioning rooms, offices, film rooms, and lockers, opened in 2011. Tulane completed construction of [[Yulman Stadium]] in September 2014 and began using it for home football games that season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tulane.edu/news/newwave/yulman-stadium-opens-for-business.cfm |title=Yulman Stadium opens for business |access-date=October 9, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141017115752/http://tulane.edu/news/newwave/yulman-stadium-opens-for-business.cfm |archive-date=October 17, 2014}}</ref>
