Supporting undocumented students

Winter 2025 Support Undocumented Students

Resources for Students, Staff, and Faculty

An "undocu-ally group" is a workgroup, who actively supports and advocates for undocumented students or individuals by providing information, resources, and a safe space, while actively working to combat discriminatory policies and practices affecting undocumented communities.

Our Commitment 

RTC reaffirms our commitment to welcoming all students, regardless of immigration status, as part of our diversity, equity, and inclusion mission. Here are some important reminders about your rights and our policies.

  • We have no legal obligation or affirmative duty to enforce federal immigration law. That is the responsibility of federal law enforcement agencies. We have established protocols if federal immigration officers come to campus. 
  • Neither U.S. citizenship nor permanent residency (a green card) is required to attend RTC. Undocumented students may enroll in classes and programs.
  • RTC does not make admissions decisions about students based on their immigration status and does not request immigration documentation except as needed to determine eligibility for resident tuition rates.
  • As an institution of higher learning, we protect freedom of speech and the academic freedom of faculty, staff, and students to express opinions regarding political or policy issues. We do not tolerate harassment, threats, or hate crimes as defined under our student conduct code, RTC's Equal Opportunity/Nondiscrimination Policy Links to an external site., or applicable law.
