The University of Nevada, Las Vegas is working to accommodate students who have been displaced by Hurricane Katrina, offering temporary enrollment to Nevada students, as well as others in specialized programs.
UNLV has received many inquiries from Nevada-based students enrolled in universities impacted by the devastating storm and its aftermath. In addition, UNLV's Boyd School of Law and Harrah Hotel College have been contacted about accommodating displaced students from law programs at Tulane and Loyola, as well as the hospitality program at the University of New Orleans.
"Our deans are working closely with their counterparts at the affected universities to accommodate their needs," said Executive Vice President and Provost Raymond Alden. "We are happy to be able to help these students continue their studies and re-establish some normalcy in their lives during this most difficult time."
For additional information, affected students or families should contact UNLV's Office of Admissions at 702-774-UNLV (702-774-8658).
