Tech Announces Hurricane Admissions Policy *Atlanta* (September 3, 2005) ? 
Earlier this week, Georgia Tech students and staff volunteered their time 
and facilities to help 275 students from Tulane University return home or 
find temporary housing. In keeping with that spirit of cooperation, Tech is 
opening its undergraduate and graduate admissions process to students from 
universities that have been closed due to the hurricane and associated flood 
waters. 

All requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis through Thursday, 
September 8. Student applicants will need to present proof of enrollment at 
a school in the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina. Admissions will be 
granted for one semester only. Students who wish to continue their education 
at Georgia Tech, will be able to apply at a later date through the regular 
admissions process. Already, Georgia Tech has accepted eight students who 
were qualified and needed a place to continue their education. 

*Undergraduate applicants should contact Georgia Tech's Office of 
Undergraduate Admission at 404-894-4154 or admission at gatech.edu. Graduate 
applicants should contact the Office of Graduate Admissions at 404-894-1610.
* 

In accordance with the policy of the University System of Georgia, students 
from the affected areas will be eligible to apply for a waiver of 
out-of-state tuition or to have tuition and fees deferred, if they have 
already paid tuition to their home institution, or received financial aid 
from their home institution.
