The University of Wisconsin-Madison is prepared to educate and help find housing for Wisconsin residents whose colleges and universities were shuttered by Hurricane Katrina.
Chancellor John Wiley announced that Wisconsin residents who were previously admitted to UW-Madison and are freshmen at a closed institution can be enrolled as a UW-Madison undergraduate. Those students will be encouraged to return to their original institution at the semester’s end or when the original school reopens.
Others at closed institutions, including upperclassmen from Wisconsin and freshmen from Wisconsin who were not previously admitted to UW-Madison, can take classes through the UW-Madison Division of Continuing Studies, he said.
