The UC Irvine campus and the University of California system have compiled the following list of resources to help members of university community navigate the complicated and constantly changing issues regarding immigration and undocumented students. If you, your colleagues, friends or students have questions about their own status please direct them to the following sources of information. You may also wish to read the Committee for Equity and Inclusion for Undocumented Students’ statements of best practices for faculty, which is a good source of general information and guidance to help educate and equip us.
