The California Community Colleges enrolls the largest population of undocumented students in the nation. Our faculty, staff, and administrators are vital to ensuring that students can achieve their goals, regardless of their citizenship status.

Undocumented Student Action Week (USAW) was created to raise awareness about the challenges students without status encounter in their educational journey. More importantly, USAW discusses local, statewide, and federal solutions that support their educational dreams. The programming events are intended to inform the campus community to build a robust ecosystem that promotes a collaborative campus approach to support undocumented students.
