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.
