Count UTEP in

Admissions for Displaced Students

UTEP officials have announced that the university has extended its offer of admission to those enrolled at universities in the areas which were interrupted by Hurricane Katrina to include non-Texas residents. This is in response to Governor Rick Perry’s declaration of a state of disaster in Texas due to the effects of the hurricane. Interested students are encouraged to enroll at UTEP by Sept. 8, 2005. Accommodations may be made after that date on a case-by-case basis.

University personnel will work with individual students to create course schedules that meet their academic needs and will arrange for academic assistance so they can catch up on the work in classes that have already begun. UTEP will also work closely with students on such issues as transfer credits and financial aid.

Interested students are asked to contact Dr. Maggy Smith, Dean of the University College, at 915-747-5151, or by e-mail at msmith@utep.edu.
