Student Life

  • Does your school allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers onto campus without a warrant?: Not that I am aware of.
  • How often does your office receive applications from undocumented students?: We do not keep a record of or information related to a student’s undocumented status.
  • Does the campus police enforce immigration law?: No.
  • Are there organized groups or clubs comprised of or advocating for undocumented students in your school?: The Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies supports DACA and undocumented students with personalized advising and resources.
  • Does your school provide distance-learning options for deported students to complete their degrees?: WSU now offers more virtual learning and degree options for students as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the pandemic there were very few options for any students to complete their degrees through distance learning options.
  • Does your school share student immigration status with ICE?: No.
  • Does your school provide confidential legal support to students with immigration law questions and issues?: The Wayne State University Law School has an established Immigration Law Clinic where students and/or members of the community can receive free and confidential legal assistance related to immigration law matters.
