Students for Fair Consideration

Instructions for Undocumented Students Applying to University of California

This is a letter from Susan Wilbur, UC Director of Undergraduate Admissions, giving advice on how undocumented applicants should complete the application for admission. The letter does not refer to undocumented students directly, but the intent is to assist undocumented students, including AB 540 students, in working through application questions that deal with residency.

One item to note. Students must respond to the Country of Citizenship question. One of the responses to this item is “No Selection.” That choice now is at the top of the drop-down list after “United States.”

Keeping the Dream Alive: Resource Guide for Undocumented Students
Published by the National Council of La Raza (NCLR)

This handbook is designed for school counselors, student advocates, and secondary students, in particular those who are undocumented. Although the legislative information provided varies by state, the generic academic, fundraising, and extracurricular tips are applicable to a typical high school audience. As a general rule, please verify all information
provided with local high school, college, and financial counselors. It is the National Council of La Raza’s (NCLR) hope that students find this handbook a helpful tool in their pursuit of postsecondary education
