McDaniel College Responds to Students Affected by Katrina

McDaniel College in Westminster, Md., is committed to assisting students affected by Hurricane Katrina. McDaniel will offer enrollment as visiting students for one semester, Fall 2005, to those students whose institutions have closed. The offer of enrollment carries the expectation that students will then return to the university where they are currently enrolled.

Detailed information about enrollment, registration, advising, housing and accommodations, and financial arrangements is available by contacting the McDaniel College Admission office toll-free at 1-800-638-5005. This number will be monitored by Admission staff throughout the Labor Day weekend. All inquiries must come through the Admission office.

Key points include:

McDaniel recommends that students affected by Hurricane Katrina contact the College at 1-800-638-5005 by Sept. 6. Enrollment will be accepted until Sept. 9 for students committed to begin attending classes no later than Sept. 12. (Classes at McDaniel began on Aug. 29.)

Students will have their tuition and fees waived at McDaniel College if they have already paid their Fall 2005 bills at their home institution and agree not to seek a refund from the college they have left.

Local students offered admission will be expected to live at home.

On-campus housing is extremely limited. For students from outside the area, McDaniel will offer assistance in finding housing. Students will be responsible for the cost of their housing.

McDaniel College will extend itself in every way possible to accommodate students attending as a result of Hurricane Katrina's impact. Visiting students, and their families, need to be aware that they will encounter limitations in available courses, housing and other areas.

If you are interested in applying to McDaniel as a visiting student for Fall 2005, you must contact the Admission office at 1-800-638-5005. All arrangements for advising, registration, finances and housing will be made through the Admission office.
