Subject: Offer to welcome students at Penn

Colleagues from affected universities,

The School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania welcomes students from colleges and universities in hurricane stricken areas. We will accommodate as many students as our space allows. Students pursuing graduate degrees in Architecture, City Planning, Fine Arts, Historic Preservation will be permitted to continue their studies at Penn as visiting students until their home institutions are able to reopen.

Penn will not be charging tuition to these displaced students, instead allowing tuition dollars to continue to be directed towards the students’ home school. If students have already paid their fall semester tuition to another college or university, we will provide available space in classes and/or studios at no additional cost and will work with students to assure they remain eligible for federal financial aid.

Students seeking to enroll in the emergency program at the School of Design should contact Joan Weston at 215-898-6520 or weston@design.upenn.edu.
