Companies Help Students Displaced by Katrina

I think it is wonderful that someone is helping out the students that had to leave school. Do you know if they are doing anything online for college students too ? My sister had to evacuate from Lamar University in Beaumont,Tx from Hurricane Rita! As of right now they are not allowing students back for the rest of the semester !

Good question. Thank you for asking and for helping your teacher. I’ll post something more than the following, if I learn something more specific. By rumor, I understand some universities have online arrangements for students displaced by disasters. In general, your sister probably already has a schedule of assignments for each course in which she is enrolled. Also, she and other students have a syllabus for each course in which they are enrolled. So, complete assignments on time until your university provides other instructions. As your sister knows, students learn most from a course through reading. So, she should keep reading for assignments and supplementary material on each syllabus. But I’m sure she knows this and is already finishing assignments on time, even though class attendance may be delayed. I’d suggest that she and other students should contact their university directly or through the university’s website to find out what other arrangements faculty have made for students.
