Legal Services
The Undocumented Community Resource Center (UCRC) is committed to providing a safe, supportive, and welcoming space where students can access reliable information and resources related to immigration and financial aid. Our goal is to ensure that undocumented, mixed-status, and immigrant students feel supported as they navigate complex systems such as financial aid, scholarships, and immigration processes.
