Dreamers and Undocumented Students

Whether or not a student has disclosed their immigration status, you can support undocumented students through the following ways. 

• Create welcoming environment through language and physical space

  • Print and display support posters

  • Do not call someone who is undocumented an illegal immigrant

  • The best language to use currently is to say Undocumented or DACAmented (if they have DACA)

• Advocate on committees (i.e. citizenship requirement for scholarships, FAFSA requirement to prove financial need [ORSAA be used instead to supplement])

• Refer undocumented students to the Educational Opportunities Program

• Do not provide legal advice! Refer to ASOSU legal services instead

• Support the Dream and Promise Act of 2019

• Supporting Undocumented Students
