"Natural disasters can cause devastation and major disruptions for cities, and that sometimes includes college campuses," USA Today reports.
..."Although federal financial aid is typically tied to a student's period of enrollment, provisions can be made if schools are forced to close for any period of time due to a natural disaster. Schools usually consult with their regional accreditation office first to discuss options for modifying the school calendar.
The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators outlines how certain relief resources are available to schools in the wake of a disaster, including study abroad programs and academic calendar changes."
