Abstract

AbstractCommunity colleges are a critical access point to higher education for undocumented students, yet undocumented community college students often report feelings of constrained inclusion due to the limitations created by their citizenship status (Negrón‐Gonzales, 2017). In this article, we review existing research on undocumented students in 2‐year colleges, discussing the policies and practices that can be implemented to support undocumented community college students. Supportive policies include tuition and aid policy, college promise programs, and dual enrollment. Supportive campus environments can be facilitated through flexible scheduling, clear and accessible information, mental health resources, staff training and professional development, funding dedicated staff positions, and creating undocumented student resource centers.
