UC stands with its undocumented students
We believe all students have the right to live and study in a safe and welcoming environment. 为此目的, the university has adopted principles to vigorously protect the privacy and civil rights of undocumented members of our community. These measures are aimed at maintaining strict confidentiality about our community members’ status and safeguarding our students’ ability to pursue their education free from intimidation and fear.
Who are UC’s undocumented students?
The vast majority of UC’s undocumented students have lived in California for most of their lives. They go on to make our society stronger: as leaders and role models in their communities, 作为教育者, health care providers, entrepreneurs and more.

捍卫DACA
UC is a staunch supporter of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and the thousands of people who rely on its protections to live, work and study in the United States.
We went all the way to the Supreme Court – and won – when the Trump Administration tried to end DACA through an executive order in 2017. UC continues to ask Congress to permanently protect DACA recipients and to provide a path to citizenship for its recipients.
