Undocumented Student Resource Liaison
As required by Illinois state law (110 ILCS 305/150), each public institution of higher education in the state of Illinois is required to designate an employee as the Undocumented Student Resource Liaison.
Undocumented Student Liaisons must be available on campus to provide assistance to undocumented students and students from mixed status families. An Undocumented Student Liaison’s primary duties are to streamline access to financial aid and provide academic support to students, which will allow the student to successfully matriculate to degree completion.
Who is the university’s liaison?
