An estimated 65,000 undocumented students graduate from the nation’s high schools per year. In California, 25,000 graduate from high school, with fewer than 7,000 going on to a community college and lower enrollment figures going on to a UC and CSU system (Perez, W., 2009, p. xxv; Perez, Z. J., 2014; www.naspa.org). Undocumented students are consumed with emotions that cannot be shared to just anyone on campus. Inclusive of those emotions, are students’ pre-arrival experience rooted in family advice that firmly shape their experience at the university. Undocumented students are urged to connect immediately with the Undocumented Student Services Center.
