<p>There’s an article in today’s Daily Trojan (the USC campus paper) that 175 Tulane students and counting are applying for transfers to USC, and the administration is working to get the admissions office moving on them asap.</p>
<p>So you could say that USC will probably join the list pretty soon.</p>
<p>geena, we live in Eugene and Willamette is strong option for my son as well if he decides to come back home. Right now he still wants to stay in Baton Rouge with TEMS until Pres. Cowen announces his plan.</p>
<p>ps. If your daughter needs a home away from home, a meal, or to pet some Great Danes, I will give you my private contact info if you PM me.or</p>
<p>CD, If I were your son, who can obviously be of actual help, I would stay there, too. The school and city are lucky to have him.</p>
<p>USC and Washington will be added to that list, I have friends going to both.</p>
<p>Welcoming Hurricane Ravaged Students</p>
<p>The University of Maryland is opening its doors to help students displaced from Gulf Coast universities to salvage their semester. </p>
<p>With more than 300 inquiries received by midday Thursday, university officials are working to identify courses with available seats to accommodate as many students as possible. Students seeking assistance should contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office at 301.314.8385. or the Graduate Admissions Office at 301.405.0376. </p>
<p>The majority of students who have contacted Maryland were enrolled at Tulane University or Loyola University in New Orleans. Many are Maryland residents who want to return home. The university is making every effort to assist others enrolling here to find housing in the local community.</p>
<p>Add Hamilton College to that list:</p>

<p>In response to the devastation suffered by the Gulf Coast in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Hamilton College is eager to assist its Central New York student neighbors. Those students who are within commuting distance of Clinton, N.Y., and who are enrolled in colleges and universities in the Gulf area that have been forced to suspend operation are welcome to take classes for credit at no cost at Hamilton this fall, depending on course availability. Local students who were enrolled or planned to enroll at colleges located in the disaster area are encouraged to contact Hamilton’s Office of the Dean of Students immediately at 315-859-4020. </p>
<p>Hamilton’s alumni office is also gathering information concerning the welfare of alumni from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama who may have been affected by Katrina. Those with information are asked to contact Jon Hysell at <a href=“mailto:jahysell@hamilton.edu”>jahysell@hamilton.edu</a> or at 315-859-4606.</p>
<p>Several student groups are planning fundraisers to assist the victims of Hurricane Katrina. In addition, the College is conducting an American Red Cross blood drive on Tuesday, Sept. 6, 11:30 a.m. 5:30 p.m. In light of possible long-term economic challenges for Gulf Coast residents, Hamilton will give special financial consideration to future students living in the affected area.</p>
<p>thanks geena, I am not sure wht he will do now that it is official that Tulane will not have a Fall semester on campus</p>
<p>UCLA will be accepting undergrads AND law students:</p>
<p>We are also concerned about college students in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama whose schools are unable to open for fall classes. In the hope that we can provide some relief to the students and their colleges, UCLA will welcome displaced students to our regular courses through UCLA Extension for the quarter beginning September 24. Through our concurrent enrollment program, students can complete coursework at UCLA to submit for credit at their home institutions. Academic counselors will be available to guide students in selecting courses suitable to their fields of study and to their level of academic preparation. UCLA Extension is working to determine how many students it can accommodate, and UCLA campus housing is assessing the number of spaces available in the residence halls. Details will be posted at <a href=“http://www.ucla.edu%5B/url%5D”>www.ucla.edu</a> and at <a href=“http://www.uclaextension.com%5B/url%5D”>www.uclaextension.com</a> as they become available.

<p>Georgetown University today announced that in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina it will provide academic assistance to undergraduate students from Loyola University New Orleans who have been displaced as a result of the devastation. Undergraduate students at Loyola University New Orleans who are from the metropolitan Washington, DC area may take courses at Georgetown University during the Fall 2005 semester through an emergency cross registration program (ECRP).</p>
<p>Harvard University will now accept students on a limited basis (I just received an e-mail):</p>
<p>September 2, 2005</p>
<p>Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff:</p>
<p>The devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina have stunned us all. The
loss of life, destruction of property, and unimaginably severe
conditions that remain in parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama
are profoundly saddening. Our thoughts, prayers, and sympathies are
with all those who have suffered from the storm and its aftermath. How
can we as a university help? Let me outline several ways.</p>
<p>First, we are contacting our undergraduate and graduate students who
live in the region to offer any assistance we can in helping them
arrive safely for the fall term. We also stand ready to lend support
to any member of the Faculty or staff who has family members displaced
by the storm. Any faculty or staff in need of such support should
contact my office at 617-495-1566.</p>
<p>Second, Harvard College will admit 25 additional students from colleges
and universities that will not reopen this term due to the storm into
our Visiting Undergraduate Student Program for the Fall Semester.
Applications will be processed on an expedited basis. No tuition will
be charged. On-campus housing will be provided on a space-available
basis and priority will be given to students rendered homeless by the
storm. Students interested in being considered for the Visiting
Undergraduate Program should contact Marlene Vergara Rotner in the
Office of Admissions at 617-495-9707 or <a href=“mailto:vus@fas.harvard.edu”>vus@fas.harvard.edu</a>.</p>
<p>Third, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences will admit into the
Special Student Program for the Fall Semester, 25 additional students
from colleges and universities that will not reopen this term due to
the storm. As in the case of Visiting Undergraduates, applications
will be processed rapidly, and no tuition will be charged. Students
interested in being considered by the Special Student Program should
contact Sue Wood at 617-495-5392 or <a href=“mailto:swood@fas.harvard.edu”>swood@fas.harvard.edu</a>.</p>
<p>Fourth, the Harvard Extension School, which has led Harvard’s outreach
efforts for more than a century, will allow enrollment in up to four of
its fall courses to those students living within commuting distance who
would normally be attending college in the flooded areas. For those
students who are not within commuting distance of the campus, HES will
make available enrollment in any of its 36 fall online courses. In
either case, HES will waive the tuition for these students and require
only the $50 registration fee. Scholarships for online courses are
limited. Further, high school students from the flooded region who can
come to the Boston area and live with relatives may enroll in Extension
School courses that meet AP requirements, such as Introduction to
Calculus, introductory science course, and introductory language
courses. Students interested in these opportunities should contact
Christine Santos at 617-495-5850 or <a href=“mailto:santos@hudce.harvard.edu”>santos@hudce.harvard.edu</a>.</p>
<p>President Summers is posting on the University website a letter in
which he will outline efforts across Harvard, including the
establishment of a fund to assist victims of the hurricane. Let me
suggest a further way you can help. If you are in a position to house
a visiting student for the fall semester, you would do that student,
and this Faculty, a great service. If you can assist in this way,
please contact Anna-Lisa Plant in the Harvard College Dean’s Office at
617-496-0265 or <a href=“mailto:aplant@fas.harvard.edu”>aplant@fas.harvard.edu</a>.</p>
<p>Finally, please help to spread the word about these opportunities to
colleagues and friends in the affected colleges and universities.
Given that our classes do not begin until Monday, September 19, there
is still time. But we must move quickly. Now is the moment to show
solidarity with our sister institutions who are in such need.</p>
<p>With all best wishes,</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>William C. Kirby
Edith and Benjamin Geisinger Professor of History and Dean of the
Faculty of Arts and Sciences</p>
<p>A copy of this letter is available at the FAS website:

<p>From Wesleyan:</p>
<p>*
"Wesleyan University will offer Connecticut residents enrolled at colleges and universities in areas stricken by Hurricane Katrina the opportunity to take fall semester classes at Wesleyan. Students may apply for status as visiting students and enroll in classes on a space-available basis.</p>
<p>Wesleyan will work with families to ensure that their total costs do not exceed their existing commitments to the schools in which they had been enrolled. </p>
<p>Students seeking to enroll in the special visiting program should be in touch with the Admission Office at 860-685-3000 on Tuesday, September 6, to discuss their options and application procedures. Applications must be received by Wesleyan no later than Monday, September 12. Admission decisions will be made on a rolling basis. Students will need to enroll by Monday, September 19, since Wesleyan classes will be in their third week. </p>
<p>Campus housing is nearly full, so most visiting students will be expected to commute. The University will assign what housing is available to students from outside commuting distance. </p>
<p>Students in the program will have their courses posted to an official Wesleyan transcript, which will be made available to them upon their request. </p>
<p>Some students may want to consider options other than enrolling in classes. Students who wish to speak with an adviser about either community service or internship possibilities may call Wesleyan’s Career Resources Center (<a href=“http://www.wesleyan.edu/crc/[/url]”>www.wesleyan.edu/crc/</a>) at 860-685-2180. </p>
<p>Details continue to be worked out and will be posted at <a href=“http://www.wesleyan.edu%5B/url%5D”>www.wesleyan.edu</a> as they are developed. Students with questions may call 860-685-5955 over the holiday weekend and leave a voicemail message.</p>
<p>“This is an initial response to a tragic and uncertain situation,” said Wesleyan President Doug Bennet. “It is also an important moment for the educational community to come together to help these students.”</p>
