INTRODUCTION

The Hubbard Center for Student Engagement recognizes the challenges faced by DACA and undocumented students, their families, and others who are concerned about immigration status. We also recognize that the immigration landscape is in a state of rapid change. Our team strives to remain current on related issues by attending conference sessions, hosting campus visitors and following organizations such as United We Dream.

Additional Considerations:
(Note: This section was adapted from the and last updated on August 7th, 2018.)

Undocumented students and students with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status are advised that on Tuesday, September 5, 2017, President Trump announced an end to the DACA program. This policy change may lead to immediate changes in laws and immigration policies related to undocumented statuses, advance parole, and the ability to travel abroad. This change is also likely to directly impact those planning to travel and those who may already be abroad.

Undocumented students or students with DACA status who are currently abroad and are not already in contact with and immigration attorney are urged to do so immediately. Students planning to travel outside the United States on Advance Parole are advised to reconsider their travel plans. Depending on Congressional action a return to the U.S. may not shield against future deportation.

Students who are not abroad, but are considering ANY travel abroad or near U.S. borders – study abroad or otherwise – should also consult with their immigration attorney and the Hubbard Center before making plans. Enhanced patrolling exists near domestic borders. Undocumented students, including those with Advance Parole, may be at heightened risk for investigation even for travel within the U.S.
