Subject: UTSA Response to Undergraduate Students Impacted by Hurricane Harvey
Importance: High
Good morning,
Attached please find a memo from Dr. Agrawal regarding an expedited admissions/enrollment/advising process for students previously planning to attend universities in areas hard-hit by Hurricane Harvey who now wish to attend UTSA. We are anticipating 30 - 40 students will join UTSA between now and census date, which is Sept. 7th.
In addition, some of our current students have been activated as part of the Texas National Guard in response to Hurricane Harvey. Dr. Agrawal is asking all faculty for their understanding as these students help with the humanitarian efforts and to work with the students to allow them to make up any coursework they may miss.
Please forward this memo to your faculty and staff.
Thank you,
Debbie
