UPDATE ON DACA (Updated as of May 7, 2020)

• As we work to support UCSB students during these challenging times, we understand that our community is experiencing stress and uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Of particular note, our undocumented community is facing additional uncertainties as we await the Supreme Court ruling on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
  
  UC Santa Barbara will continue to work with campus and UC partners to provide support to UCSB undocumented students, regardless of the outcome of the DACA ruling. This support includes financial, legal and emotional support, and inclusion efforts guided by our own Principles of Community and the guidelines set by the University of California in support of Undocumented Members of the UC Community.
