DACA recipients



Our Enrollment and Program teams will work with you to verify your work authorization remains valid throughout the program and internship experience. We are also actively monitoring developments to ensure we can provide timely guidance, resources and support.

Support for DACA Recipients

We are equipping our staff and students with relevant information to help navigate the evolving landscape. One resource that may be helpful is the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), which actively tracks policy developments, including executive orders, and regularly updates its publicly accessible webpage.

Much remains uncertain at this time. Our commitment to supporting young adults in the pursuit of a career opportunity is not.



Applicants with DACA status

DACA-affiliated young adults are eligible for our program and must have a valid work status of at least one year. Two years valid work status ensures you can receive the maximum benefit of our program by pursuing at least one year of post-graduation work. The link below contains additional resources.
