In light of the security situation, tuition payments due for November will be waived until a later date, and students staying in university dorms who were called up for IDF service will have their October rental fees waived, the Committee of University Presidents says.

The universities had already announced last week that the fall semester would begin on November 5, instead of October 15. This November 5th start date will now be “reviewed again, taking into account developments.”

“At every university there are many initiatives which aim to help in these difficult days, whether it is supporting students in various medical fields in hospitals, mobilizing students and professionals in the resilience and mental health fields, housing for evacuees in vacant dormitories, help with information, and more,” the universities say in a statement.
