Supporting 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
