University of Memphis is taking in students as well: [http://www.memphis.edu/katrinarelief/](http://www.memphis.edu/katrinarelief/) Upshot, is that any students who were admitted in a college/univeristy in the affected region will be admitted into U of M, and all students who already paid for their tuition for the semester will be considered ‘paid up’ for U of M. Students who hadn’t paid for their tuition yet will be charged at the in-state rates, not out of state. (They’re working on housing as well.) The semester just started, so students won’t be much (if any) behind, and the faculty is willing to adjust to help newcomers catch up. * * * \<\< C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me… \>\> ---

From the CBS News story linked by **gardentraveler** in post #13: > [@](#): > > Marvalene Hughes, president of Dillard University, a historically black college in New Orleans, said she was planning further discussions with staff Friday night but was exploring a range of options and was not yet prepared to give up on the semester. > > “I don’t give up that easily,” said Hughes, who has been president for just two months and was staying with family in Alabama. [My alma mater](http://www.vwc.edu/news_events/releases/release.php?category=all&disp=324) is offering housing to up to 18 female Dillard students, as well as fall tuition waivers for those women and any of their classmates. If the response from the Dillard community is minimal, Virginia Wesleyan’s invitation will be extended to any other undergrads displaced by Katrina. [Here is a letter](http://www.dillard.edu/) from Dillard President Hughes. She says that “\*nstruction will resume immediately following the clearance to return to New Orleans”, but gives no timetable for when such a return may be possible. ---

Clarke College, where I work, is taking in 10 students originally from the area who were enrolled in colleges effected by Katrina. Here’s our site with the press release: [http://www.clarke.edu/katrina/](http://www.clarke.edu/katrina/) Go Crusaders! 😃 ---

Oh yeah, Dubuque is in Iowa. Just in case everyone in the entire US didn’t know that. :rolleyes: ---

I read in the Buffalo News yesterday that the New York State chancellor is working with all the SUNY schools to bring in displaced students at in-state tuitions. Canisius college in Buffalo is helping fellow Jesuit college Tulane by taking a bunch of students and faculty. ---

I know Columbia College is taking in undergraduates, and the graduate schools are working on deals for students, too. Graduate students are going to be much harder to deal with, though, since many of them will have lost years of research and will no longer have a viable thesis project. mischievous ---

[Stanford](http://www.stanford.edu/dept/ucomm/gulf/) is taking in qualified students as nonmatriculated students. It’s up to the home universities how they want to credit the classes toward their degrees, especially since Stanford runs on the quarter system, not the semester system. Stanford won’t charge these students for tuition, but they’re expected to keep on paying tuition to their home universities. They only have to pay Stanford room and board, plus incidentals, which is v. good. :eek: 🙂 As for the grad schools, the summary is available at the linky – they’re working on deals for various students and faculty ---

[The University of Miami](http://www.miami.edu/UMH/CDA/UMH_Main/1,1770,8548-1;27893-3,00.html) is also helping out. ---

> [@Mr. Goob](#): > > Canisius college in Buffalo is helping fellow Jesuit college Tulane by taking a bunch of students and faculty. You must mean the (Jesuit) Loyola University of New Orleans. Tulane, my alma mater, is a private school not affiliated with any religion. ---

**Georgia Tech** is taking in some Tulane students until they can get in touch with family and such. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/list-of-colleges-taking-in-displaced-students-and-faculty/319839.md?page=1)
