Office of Undocumented Student Services
Undocumented Student Services, housed under the Intercultural Resource Center, strives to empower all undocumented/DACAmented students, mix-status families, and allies to navigate higher education.
Undocumented Student Services supports students through the complexity of financial aid, admissions, career development, and wellness, while being an undocumented immigrant. If you are an undocumented student or a child of an undocumented immigrant, you are welcome at Rutgers University–Newark. We will help you find all the resources you need to focus on your education.
