Undocumented Student Resources | Students

As a Catholic and Jesuit institution, Georgetown University values the dignity of all members of the university community, regardless of immigration status.

An estimated 65,000 children born abroad who are not U.S. citizens or legal residents graduate from U.S. high schools each year. As we engage with the impacts of globalization and the responsibilities we have in a new global context, we must, as educators, support all of our students, including those who were born abroad. The university is committed to supporting undocumented students and the unique challenges they may face, and has convened a working group of representatives from a variety of offices across campus.
