As you know, many of our students have been displaced by the horrid effects of Hurricane Katrina. Oklahoma City University is here to help.

Oklahoma City University President Tom McDaniel announced Thursday, September 1st 2005, that Oklahoma City University will open it's arms to those students effected by this situation. This includes students who attended schools that have been effected by the damage of Hurricane Katrina.

Oklahoma City University will award one semester of full, free tuition to undergraduates, graduates and law program students for the Fall 2005 semester. Books, housing and incidental fees are not covered.

"We are opening our hearts and our university to these students", McDaniel stated. "Although we can not replace lost lives or undo damage, the OCU community is eager to help. In fact, it is part of our mission of Oklahoma City University. We don't want this natural disaster to be a road block in these students' educational path."

For over 100 years, Oklahoma City University has had a history of service and academic success. With numerous udergraduate and graduate degrees, we hope to lend a hand to those in need.

Students may apply on-line here: http://www.tgimatocu.com/apply/
OCU will waive the normal $30 application fee till this Tuesday, September 5th. The fee is ONLY waived for those students effected by the hurricane. Applications are being accepted now.

If you have additional questions, feel free to email uadmissions@okcu.edu or visit us at www.tgimatocu.com.. We will try to assist you as quickly as possible.

We hope that this will help. Please let us know if we can assist you through this challenging time.

I think it is absolutely wonderful that OCU is reaching out in this way. My daughter attended the OCU summer program in the summer of 2004 and loved her experience there. She found the faculty, staff and students to be nurturing, knowledgeable and informative. This action on the part of OCU only confirms those impressions and her decision to apply there next year. We can all learn from OCU's example.

Thanks manuelo for your kind words.

For parents wondering how OCU will handle incoming MT majors....
Students can enroll as the major they were at another school. If you were a MT major at a displaced school, you can come in as such at OCU for the remainder of this semester. If you choose to stay at OCU for the spring semester, you must audition for the program.

Displaced students receive FREE academic tuition for this semester. This does not include housing. We are currently enrolling many students and will be happy to assist you as quickly as possible in this time of need.
