At Saddleback College, we are committed to supporting our undocumented and mixed-status population. Our goal is to provide our undocumented and mixed-status students with the access, resources, and necessary tools to succeed in their academic, personal, and professional aspirations.
Through our undocumented student services, our students will gain insight into what is available to them, have access to designated career workshops, legal services, and intentional counseling based on their unique needs.
