Undocumented/DACA
Welcome
Welcome! Northwestern University welcomes students who have DACA status, are undocumented, or have undocumented family members to our diverse educational community.
We are committed to providing support for all of our students so that they may focus on their educational pursuits while at Northwestern. The university recognizes the unique barriers that undocumented and DACA status students and their families may encounter in pursuing a college education, and Northwestern strives to work toward ensuring our students successfully navigate the university experience.
The Office of Student Enrichment Services (SES) and Multicultural Student Affairs (MSA) work together to build awareness, provide support and create avenues for advocacy with and for the undocumented / DACA student community. For information about resources, please go to Undocumented/DACA Resources.
Connect:
- DACA Renewal Fee: SES can support the $495 DACA renewal fee for Northwestern students, both undergraduate and graduate.
- Legal Support: If you are in need of legal support due to the Trump administration’s various travel bans and/or changes to the DACA program, SES can connect you with legal support through our Office of General Counsel.
