Frequently Asked Questions

Our beloved Loj in the winter.
How do I get involved?

TMC is unique in that YOU decide how much you want to be involved. We hold events throughout the semester at the Loj that are open to all undergraduate students to signup for called Big Weekends, which are great ways to meet people within the community and get outside.

However, becoming a member is the best way to become involved and stay up to date on all things TMC!

Membership gives you access to our Slack channel and our weekly email which is how we communicate and send out event signups. The vast majority of our trips and events are member-run, and signups are released in the Slack. To signup for a trip, navigate to the #trips-board Slack channel, find a trip that looks interesting, and comment your name and phone number; it’s that easy!

-> If you’re feeling confused or want some recommendations on where to start, reach out to a board member, we’re here to help!

How can I become a TMC member?

To become a member you must first purchase a membership from the TMC store (sliding scale, $15 suggested) and then submit a screenshot of your receipt to this form.

At this time only Tufts undergraduates can become full members; however, both graduate students and Alumni can still sign up for the weekly newsletter and go to the Loj by contacting our wonderful Loj director!

Steps:

  1. Purchase a new membership from the Tufts Mountain Club store on Touchnet
  2. Make sure to fill in your graduation year and use your Tufts email when you checkout.
  3. Your reciept will have a link to sign up to our newsletter, the Weekly, which has instructions on how to join our Slack.
  4. Take a screenshot of your receipt.
  5. Fill out this form and upload the screenshot of your receipt.
  6. If you are having trouble, contact the following email: tuftsmountainclub.contact@gmail.com
Do I have to be a current student to join?

Yes, only current Tufts undergraduates can become fully-fledged members. However, both graduate students and alumni can still go to the Loj by contacting the Loj Director!

Where can I find TMC on campus?

The TMC office is located at 17 Chetwynd Rd, right near Fletcher Field. TMC gear is located at the office (often referred to as Chet). There are often movie nights and other fun events held there, so be sure to check out our Slack and our Instagram for those.

What is the difference between TWO (Tufts Wilderness Orientation) and TMC?

WO is a pre-orientation program that is not affiliated with TMC. TMC is a student club, active year round, and we are open to all Tufts undergraduates. We would love to see you at an event!

How can I rent gear?

Great question! There is more information on our gear webpage.
