| GUIDELINES FOR UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS |
PAUTAS PARA ESTUDIANTES INDOCUMENTADOS
|
If you are an undocumented immigrant you CAN go to college. While not everyone gets accepted to the college they want, EVERYONE can apply.
HERE'S HOW!
Unless an admission counselor from the college to which you are applying is telling you differently, undocumented students should follow these steps in applying to Indiana colleges.
Step 1. LEAVE BLANK any questions you can not answer - even when the application says the information is required. Leave blank :
- Social security number (SSN)
- Citizen or permanent resident of the US
- Country of citizenship (For example, do not put “Mexico” if you are a citizen of Mexico. Your application will be sent to the Office of International Students, and you are NOT applying as an international student, with some exceptions.
Undocumented immigrant students should NOT apply to Indiana universities as "international students." International students are reported to the United States government, and they pay international student tuition rates/fees at state universities.
NEVER indicate on any public form that you are a citizen or permanent resident of the United States if you do not have the documents to prove this. There are severe immigration penalties that can apply which may prevent you from ever gaining legal status in the U.S. in the future. |
Step 2. ANSWER all other questions as required and SUBMIT your application. You can get more help with the process from the admission counselors at the college.
Step 3. WAIT for a response. Admission Offices automatically check up on missing information from all students who apply. If the university calls or sends you a letter asking for more information:
- Respond to them. They are NOT rejecting you.
- Simply answer that you left items blank because:
- You do not have a SSN
- You ARE NOT a citizen or permanent resident of the U.S.
- BUT you ARE a resident of Indiana. Tell them you graduated from an Indiana high school or received your GED in Indiana, and you are applying as an Indiana resident. Some schools will also require that your parents (or Legal Guardian) reside and/or work in Indiana, or that you have resided in Indiana for one or more years.
Check the chart below for some general guidance as to what colleges will say about their residency requirements. Residency rules can also change.
Step 4. If you have any questions, CALL the contact person at the university listed below. Let them know your individual circumstances. Admission decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. Or call Jasmine Roberts, the Post-Secondary Education Advisor at La Plaza, 317-890-3292.
Don't hesitate to call. People want to help you. See also Whom to Contact for more names of admission counselors who want to answer your questions.

Si tu eres un estudiante indocumentado tu PUEDES ir a la universidad. Aun cuando no todos son aceptados en la universidad, TODOS pueden solicitar admision.
¡AQUI ESTA COMO LO PUEDES HACER!
A menos que un consejero de admisiones de la universidad a la que estas solicitando admision te diga lo contrario, estudiantes indocumentados deben seguir estos pasos al solicitar admision a universidades de Indiana.
Paso 1. DEJA EN BLANCO Deja en blanco cualquier pregunta que no puedas contestar (aun cuando la solicitud diga que la informacion es requerida), como lo son
- Numero de Seguro Social (SSN)
- Cidudadania or Residecia permanente de U.S.
- Pais de origen (por ejemplo, no pongas Mexico, si es que eres un ciudadano de Mexico, porque esto puede hacer que tu solicitud vaya a la Oficina de Estudiantes Internacionales. Tu no estas solicitando admision como estudiante internacional.
Estudiantes immigrantes indocumentados no son estudiantes internacionales. Estudiantes Internacionales son reportados al gobierno de los Estados Unidos, y ellos pagan tarifas de colegiatura de estudiante internacional.
NUNCA indiques en cualquier forma publica que eres un ciudadano o residente permanente de los Estados Unidos si es que no tienes la documentacion para comprobarlo. Hay multas severas de inmigracion que pueden ser aplicables, que te pueden prohibir de obtener estatus legal en los U.S en el futuro. |
Paso 2. RESPONDE el resto de las preguntas como sea requerido y presenta tu solicitud. Obten mas ayuda con el proceso de admision de consejeros de admision.
Paso 3. ESPERA por una respuesta. Las Oficinas de Admision automaticamente corroboran cualquier informacion faltante de todos los estudiantes que solicitan admision. Si la universidad te llama o te manda una carta preguntando por mas informacion:
- Respondeles. Ellos NO te estan rechazando.
- Simplemente responde que los dejaste en blanco porque:
- no tienes un SSN
- Que no eres ciudadano ni residente de US
- Pero que eres un residente de Indiana, te graduaste de una high school de Indiana, y estas solicitando admision como un residente de Indiana. Algunas escuelas pueden requerir que tus padres residan y/o trabajen en Indiana, o que tu hayas residido en Indiana por uno o mas anos.
Cheka la grafica de abajo por orientacion general sobre que diran los colegios con respecto a sus requisitos de residencia. Las Reglas de residencia pueden cambiar tambien.
Paso 4. si tienes cualquier pregunta, LLAMA a la persona encargada de la universidad listada abajo. Dejales saber sobre tus circumstancias individuales. Las decisiones de admision son hechas caso por caso. O llama al consejero de educacion post-secundaria de La Plaza, Jasmine Roberts, 317-890-3292.
