University of San Diego:
"In addition, the University of San Diego intends to conditionally accept a limited number of Loyola University, Xavier University and Tulane University students from either San Diego County or Imperial County, on a temporary basis. Students will pay their tuition to USD, but those monies will be returned to the home institution. Students must be in good academic standing for enrollment in the fall semester, which began September 1, 2005. These students would later transfer back to their home university when the schools reopen, either spring 2006, or worst case, fall 2006.
The School of Law intends to conditionally accept a limited number of third year law students to insure their graduation and bar examination schedules are not impacted. For information, contact Leslie Oster at (619) 260-4733."

San Diego State University:
SAN DIEGO (Updated for Friday, Sept. 2, 2005) -- San Diego State University is opening enrollment to students who are unable to attend colleges and universities closed due to Hurricane Katrina’s devastation. Both undergraduates and graduate students who are in good standing at Gulf Coast universities that are no longer able to accommodate them due to Hurricane Katrina are being enrolled.
Priority will be given to residents of the San Diego area or other parts of California, but SDSU also is working to accommodate displaced students who are out-of-state residents.

University of California, San Diego:
In response to the devastation occurring in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi, the University of California, San Diego has devised academic accommodations for those affected students who are UCSD related or reside in the San Diego region and need alternatives for proceeding with their education. These include:
*For students who did not accept their admission to UCSD and who cannot attend a college as a result of the hurricane, UCSD will provide late enrollment into the regular undergraduate program.
*For both undergraduate and graduate San Diego area students who were not admitted to UCSD and who cannot attend a college which has been closed because of the effects of the hurricane, UCSD will try to accommodate their educational needs through concurrent enrollment with University Extension.
*For enrolled UCSD students who may be directly affected by the hurricane to the extent that they cannot continue their enrollment, UCSD will grant leaves of absences or delayed admissions for up to one year.
*UCSD School of Medicine will offer to provide rotations for senior medical students affected by Hurricane Katrina, and the School of Medicine is checking to see what placements might be available for residents and fellows.

The California State University system:
Admitting Students:
*Students from the Gulf Areas of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, even those who lack proper academic documents, may be admitted conditionally for Fall 2005. Their enrollment status for subsequent terms will depend upon the as-yet-unknown ability of schools, colleges, and universities in the Gulf region to provide transcripts and other documentation.
*Enrollment by Katrina-affected students at the other 16 CSU campuses will be at the option of those campuses on a case-by-case basis. Many of them will be able to accept students because of the emergency situation.
Waiving Policies:
The CSU will temporarily suspend its policies regarding (1) the requirement to document completion of A-G requirements for first-time freshmen and transfer students; and (2) waive the normal English and mathematics placement test requirements for students impacted by Hurricane Katrina.
Admission Priority:
Admission priority for Katrina affected students will be in the following order:
California residents who had previously planned to attend institutions in the Gulf regions of Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi.
Students from the hurricane-affected areas previously offered CSU admission for the Fall 2005 term.
Former CSU students enrolled or planning to enroll Fall 2005 at a Katrina-affected college or university.
Students who can document Fall 2005 admission to or recent attendance at any regionally accredited college in the areas impacted by Hurricane Katrina.
Fees:
Students who are residents of the Katrina-affected areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, or Alabama will be exempt from payment of non-resident tuition. They will still be billed for the CSU State University Fee, all campus fees, housing fees (if residing on campus), and other appropriate fees required of enrolled students. However, CSU campuses will provide flexible deferred payment plans and account receivables as appropriate.
Student Housing:
Campuses providing access to students from the Katrina-affected areas of the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama will either provide on-campus housing or assist the student in securing housing off-campus.
