Midnight Update
All:
I need to get some rest, or my professors will be wondering about my desire to attend class. I hope that the steady stream of e-mail and comments regarding additional schools accepting students in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina will continue throughout the early morning hours. I plan on posting all updates and new news early tomorrow morning.
I welcome being linked by any of the other "informal" sources of information for students affected by Hurricane Katrina, especially websites run by students on affected campuses.
At this point, this is a complete list of all schools accepting students:
University of Illinois
University of Texas at Austin
Indiana University
University of Michigan
University of Wisconsin
University of Alabama
University of Florida
University of South Carolina
University of Tennessee

Thank you for your exhaustive work, Dan. If you could link me, I am creating a "big easy refugees" blog for information on different neighborhoods. I have linked you already to mine; my blog is bigeasyrefugees.blogspot.com. Thanks, Eric

Hello. I heard about your blog on the Hugh Hewitt show and it inspired me to start an informational blog about martial arts schools willing to help martial arts schools harmed or destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Thanks for being such an inspiration!

ST. MARY’S OFFERS CLASS SPACE FOR DISPLACED STUDENTS
SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- St. Mary’s University is reaching out to those college students academically displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
San Antonio-based St. Mary’s is reopening registration exclusively for transient students from Gulf Coast colleges and universities ravaged by the storm. The special registration period is open through Thursday, Sept. 8. Admission counselors are available to work one-on-one with students in attending St. Mary’s this term. For more information, students or parents can call 210-436-3126 or 800-367-7868 and ask for Maria Ramos-Smalling in the Admissions Office.
St. Mary’s has heard from a number of families of students who were registered or attending New Orleans universities for the fall semester and now have no idea when they may reopen, Suzanne Petrusch, St. Mary’s vice president for Enrollment Management said.
“We want to reach out to those students and accommodate as many as we can,” Petrusch said. That will depend on how much space is available in specific classes they need to take, she said.
Petrusch noted that as a private university, St. Mary’s has no difference in tuition cost for in-state or out-of-state students. The staff will work with displaced students on an individual basis to reduce the cost of attendance this fall.
St. Mary’s will assist those students who cannot get their transcripts and other college documents. Students who wish to live in University housing will need to supply immunization records.
St. Mary’s, founded by the Society of Mary in 1852, is the oldest Catholic university in Texas and the Southwest.
Classes for the fall semester began on Aug. 23. The semester ends on Dec. 16.
