Response to Hurricane Katrina:
The University's Web site will track St. Lawrence response to the devastating
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
St. Lawrence University will enroll up to 10 visiting
students with no charge for tuition, room, board and fees, for the fall
or spring semesters. (Books and transportation are the responsibility
of each student.) To qualify, students must have been enrolled at institutions
in the devastated region. Students will be admitted to the University
as non-matriculated students, with the intent of having the classes
transferred back to their home institutions. The St. Lawrence Admissions
office (1-800-285-1856, admissions@stlawu.edu) will expedite admissions
and faculty and staff will coordinate immediate course placement.
St. Lawrence knows of 23 alumni with home addresses in Louisiana and
9 alumni with addresses in Mississippi. We welcome an e-mail
or call (315-229-5567) with news of their safety.
