支持ing Undocumented Students
“We are all Carthaginians. The welfare of each of us must be the concern of all of us.” — President John Swallow
Carthage College is committed to supporting undocumented students and the unique challenges they may face. Institutional values articulate that Carthage celebrates the rich diversity of life, and strives to provide equitable opportunities to grow as individuals and as a community.
Driven by its mission, Carthage College invites students from all backgrounds to seek truth, 建立强度, and inspire service together, regardless of their immigration status.
In order to promote equity in education and support an inclusive environment for undocumented students, the institution has committed to the following:
- Carthage College does not take legal status into consideration for admission decisions.
- Carthage College provides confidential counseling services to all students free of charge.
- Carthage College will not, unless compelled by law, release privileged information about any student, and maintains the privacy of all students as outlined in the The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
- Carthage College provides compassionate financial aid counseling, and connects students to appropriate resources whenever possible to maximize affordability. Including those who may not be eligible for financial aid.
来帮忙
Undocumented students, or those who know of undocumented students seeking support, have both on-campus and off-campus resources available. In addition to the Office of 股本 and 包容 for Culture Change, there are several other options for individuals to turn to in a time of need. Many individuals on campus have been certified as 股本的战士s (designated with the symbol on this page). 股本 warriors will be familiar with some of the special challenges confronting students from families whose immigration status is not secure. Campus resources whose confidentiality is protected by law include the pastor, counseling services, and the campus nurse.
