McGill to admit Tulane University first-year students affected by Hurricane Katrina

McGill University is joining other members of the American Association of Universities (AAU) in relief efforts to accommodate students from Tulane University in New Orleans who have been affected by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. McGill and Tulane are among members of the AAU, which groups the top universities in North America.

McGill will admit freshmen students from Tulane into a regular undergraduate program, where feasible, until September 13, 2005, which is the end of our course add/drop period. After that date, students will be considered for admission to the January 2006 term. Applications to professional or specialized programs with limited enrolment, such as law, will be considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure that we can accommodate additional students while continuing to offer the highest quality teaching programs.

As well, transfer students or graduate students may be fast-tracked, and will be considered on an individual basis.
