Syllabus statement
Incorporating a syllabus statement to support the undocumented student community can foster an inclusive environment and assure students that they have a safe space to learn and seek help. The following statement can be included in your syllabi.
Immigration is a complex phenomenon with broad impact—those who are directly affected by it, as well as those who are indirectly affected by their relationships with family members, friends, and loved ones. If your immigration status presents obstacles to engaging in specific activities or fulfilling specific course criteria, please request support from the Undocumented Student Program (USP). The Undocumented Student Program offers support services and coordinates resource access for undocumented students (with and without DACA) as well as students from mixed-status families.

Join the Council
The mission of the NSHE Undocumented Student Success Council (formerly known as NSHE All Access) is to build a comprehensive, state-wide support system for students who are undocumented or who received Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), as well as immigrant students under other statuses such as Temporary Protected Status (TPS). In order to increase recruitment, retention, and graduation rates, the NSHE USSC works to implement practical, research-informed, institutionalized and systemic policies and to provide tangible resources and on-campus support. By sharing information and collaborating, the NSHE USSC is able to guide best-practices, impact equity and intervene when necessary to advocate for student needs.
