Adelphi University to Admit College Students Displaced by Hurricane Katrina
Adelphi University will accommodate any college students whose education has been impeded by Hurricane Katrina or the storm's devastation. The storm on the Gulf Coast severely damaged many colleges and universities, and has displaced approximately 100,000 students who are seeking enrollment opportunities to continue their education.
To help those in need, the University has extended its registration deadline and will admit undergraduate and graduate students through September 9, 2005, in addition to waiving their application fee. The Office of Admissions, which has already received several inquiries, will assist displaced students by contacting their high school and moving them quickly through the admissions process to start classes.
Any student or parent seeking assistance, may contact Christine Murphy, director of the office of admissions at 516.877.3056 or Laura Aniano, associate director of the office of admissions at 516.877.3064.
