    Undocumented Student Rights

    Regardless of immigration status the student can apply for admission to a public college or university in California.  The law allows students the following rights regardless of immigration status:

    • Public colleges and universities in California cannot discriminate in admission based on a student’s immigration status.
    • Students are not required to show an ID or Social Security Card for admission.
    • Students are not required to show proof of legal U.S. residency in the review of a college application.

    AB 540 and undocumented students enrolled at Laney College, have the right to access the same general services as other students.

    These services include:

    • Tutoring Services
    • Disabled Student Program and Services
    • Counseling
    • Admissions and Enrollment
    • Financial Aid [check back periodically for updates regarding the Cal Grant Dream Application]
