OAMI serves as one of the spaces on campus where all students, including undocumented and DACAmented students of all ethnicities and nationalities, can find a safe environment and supportive community at the University of Michigan.
OAMI offers a range of support services — from personal, one-on-one coaching to community and professional development, which will help balance being a full-time student and handling other day-to-day challenges you may face. If you want to connect with students like you, OAMI can provide resources to connect you to an encouraging peer network.
Applying to Michigan
There are no laws that prohibit students from attending college based on immigration status.
Financial Aid and Assistance
Most financial aid, including federal, state, and many institutional aid sources, requires recipients to be U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens.
For more information about eligible non-citizens, visit the U.S. Dept. of Education Federal Student Aid website.
If a student is a U.S. citizen but one or more parents are undocumented, contact the Office of Financial Aid to discuss your specific situation.
Call 734-763-6600 or contact Financial Aid for help.
Student Legal Services
Student Legal Services (SLS) is a law office of the University of Michigan. Services are free and available for all currently enrolled students.
If, for any reason, you need legal advice and/or service, you can call 734-763-9920 or email studentlegalservicesinfo@umich.edu to schedule an appointment.
Contact SLS as soon as possible regarding any upcoming court appearances.
SCOPE – Student Org
Your student org for community and advocacy
In 2017, undocumented/DACAmented created a student organization for undergraduate students looking to support and empower undocumented students on campus as well as individuals in immigrant communities.
Since the start of SCOPE, students have looked to advocate, raise awareness, and garner support from the community about the lack of access undocumented students have upon entering the University.
All students are welcome to join and support SCOPE’s mission. Contact SCOPE.info@umich.edu for more information.
