From the Univerity
We want to alert you that from now through September 16 we will admit and enroll qualified students who have been displaced by colleges that have closed as a result of Hurricane Katrina. UMSL will waive its application and late registration fees, work to place students in classes that will transfer to their home college and possibly provide some scholarship aid to students in need. Students should call admissions at 516-5451 for more information. Most of the students are undergraduates from universities like Tulane, Loyola, and other universities in Louisiana and Mississippi who are from this area. There are also a few graduate students. Some may come here for a semester or two, but others may want to fully transfer here and graduate from UMSL. Some of this depends on what happens in Louisiana and Mississippi, of course.
The Illinois State University Academic Senate was informed tonight that ISU will be something simialir to this. Students that were admitted to ISU but choose to go to a school in effected area instead, are being allowed to transfer to ISU next semester…
