<p>The University of Rhode Island is offering admission to displaced students. Headline states RI students, but article also lists OOS students. Classes start Sept. 7th. <a href="http://www.uri.edu/news/releases/?id=3267%5B/url%5D">http://www.uri.edu/news/releases/?id=3267</a></p>
<p>This was sent out to faculty, staff, and students by Mary Sue Coleman, the president of University of Michigan:</p>
<p>"We are working with the Association of American Universities to assist students from other universities who have been displaced by the storm. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions has already received several inquiries from students hoping to continue their studies at Michigan until classes can resume at their own universities, and we want to do all we can to assist within our available resources and based on what is in the best interest of the students. Please contact Director of Undergraduate Admissions Ted Spencer at 647-0102 or <a href="mailto:tsz@umich.edu">tsz@umich.edu</a> <a href="mailto:tsz@umich.edu">tsz@umich.edu</a> if you are aware of such an inquiry, and he will coordinate the necessary follow up on an individual basis."</p>
<p>This is really a beautiful response to this tragedy.</p>

<p>I posted on the other thread, but fordham law school is taking tulane law students, I'd assume that the undergraduate school would be accomodatiing as well. Since they were planning on sending the tuition to tulane, I would think that if you have already paid tuition then you could go for free.</p>
<p>worry about the acronym) - here's the URL of the discussion list message with the schools accepting students listed.</p>

<p>Moderators - can you merge the two threads on this topic? Thanks.</p>
<p>My S just called and told me that two of his buddies that were to be freshmen at Tulane just enrolled at UT Austin. They are both Texas residents. My S's girlfriend who would be a soph at Tulane is heading to U Florida now to visit S. She is going to check with admissions there to see if she can pick up classes, when I hear the results I will post.</p>
<p>Who knows which ones are the free ones, other than Syracuse?</p>
<p>There was an article in the Jacksonville, FL paper today that the University of North Florida will be accepting these students and to contact the admissions office at 904-620-2624.</p>
<p>Rice and University of Arkansas are free.</p>
<p>UCSB will accept students who were previously admitted as freshman to UCSB from Katrina affected schools. The email I recieved said other UC's are also willing to help. For those who are committed to Tulane they suggest extension courses.</p>
<p>Here is a link listing 4 Florida schools that will accept kids-FSU, UNF, USF and FIU.

<p>Ballerina - most, if not all, which I have seen are free. Syracuse went further and offered free room and board to the first 15 who choose to go there as visiting students. But many/most seem to be free for the "tuition" portion.</p>
<p>As of this morning, there were 400 students still trapped on the 5th and 6th floors of a dorm at Xavier, with no water and no food.</p>
<p>oh, mini - how can that be so? I am not a frequenter of the political threads here on cc, but this is a very, very sad commentary. I had not been aware until you?/someone? posted, the socioeconomic and ethnic status of most Xavier students. How do we rattle some cages?</p>
<p>Articles finally ran about them in the Atlanta-Constitution and Detroit Free Press this morning, but it has been on blogs for days.</p>
