The Alamo Community College District (ACCD) stands ready to assist college students who have been displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

The Alamo Community College District will:

• Defer tuition and fees for any evacuees who wish to enroll and will help them in securing financial aid
• Forego out of state tuition and charge in-state, in-district tuition
• Testing costs will be deferred for those who were already enrolled in college, and fees for the Accuplacer test, which the colleges use to assess skill levels, will be deferred
• Prepare and register students for the fall flex semester that starts in October
• Evacuees who enroll will receive a 20% discount on textbooks at the college bookstores
• In coordination with local manpower agencies, provide work force training programs
• Make use of our video conferencing center, located next to facility housing evacuees at Kelly USA
• Admit students immediately
• Counsel students as needed
