Undocumented Community Center
Are you concerned about immigration issues? The Undocumented Community Center can help you with issues like AB540 admissions, DACA, the California Dream Act and more. We are here to answer questions and provide support in a welcoming and safe space.
How Can We Help?
Connect with a Representative on Campus
At the Undocumented Community Center (UCC), we can answer many immigration questions you might have, or connect you with a UCC Ally on campus. UCC Allies are available to answer specific questions about an issue or concern you have, or they can help you find the resources you may need to help you navigate that issue.
The UCC is committed to increasing engagement and awareness surrounding issues that impact the undocumented community by building leadership skills, promoting social justice, and advocating for access and equity within higher education. Our goal is to empower the undocumented community by providing a safe space, fostering a support network, and removing barriers. We strive to create equitable access to resources in order to support an informed and involved community that is capable of self-advocacy.

Financial Aid for Undocumented Students
Through the California Dream Act (AB540), many undocumented students may be eligible for financial aid, scholarships, or other forms of assistance.
The Skyline College Financial Aid Office is committed to helping all students apply for financial aid. Dream Center staff can help connect you with a Financial Aid representative who can help you navigate the information around AB540.
Immigration Legal Clinic
SparkPoint and the UCC host the Immigration Legal Clinic, which aspires to meet the unmet needs for access to legal information by our community. The clinic helps bridge the justice gap by providing access to legal services for under-resourced members of the local community. The Clinic is an integral part of holistic services to students, providing free and confidential legal information on immigration matters and helping students stay safe and on track to meet their educational goals.
As clinic supervisor Maria Segarra stated, “As an immigrant, I know what it feels like to be afraid, to be uncertain, and to worry about what the future holds. I hope that together with the Undocumented Community Center, Sparkpoint, and Skyline College, we can provide a safe and caring place for undocumented students, families, and community members. We are here to serve.”
Deferred Action for Child Arrivals
Through an executive order enacted by President Obama in 2012, some undocumented youth who came to the U.S. as children may be granted a type of temporary permission to stay in the U.S.
