DePaul University in Chicago announced Friday that it has enrolled more than 100 Ukrainian students into online classes without any tuition or fees.
Most of the students are from Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, near the Polish border. Now they’re earning credit online during the spring semester for “classes that cannot be held as the result of war,” according to Dmytro Sherengovsky, UCU vice-rector for academic affairs and internationalization.
“We are grateful to DePaul University for opening their courses for UCU and other Ukrainian students,” Sherengovsky said in a statement.

“When presented with the opportunity to help, our staff and faculty immediately provided the logistics and support to make this happen,” DePaul provost Salma Ghanem said. “DePaul is living our Catholic, Vincentian mission by helping these students pursue their education while their country is under assault.”
Classes provided for the Ukrainian enrollees include business, communications, liberal arts, science and health, education, and computing and digital media. The university increased its online course offerings specifically for these students despite having mostly returned to in-person courses with some hybrid options.
