About the Undocumented Student Support Center (USSC)

The Undocumented Student Support Center (USSC) at Las Positas College (LPC) is dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for undocumented, immigration-impacted, AB 540 eligible, DACA recipients, and those from mixed-status families. Our mission is to empower and support these students in achieving their academic, career, and personal goals.

Whether you are preparing to attend college, continuing your education, or planning your next steps after graduation, our center is here to connect you with resources, guidance, and opportunities to succeed.

Our History

Las Positas College has a history of supporting undocumented students through the collaborative efforts of students, faculty, staff, and campus advocates.

Earlier initiatives, including the Dream Program and the UndocuAlly Task Force, helped connect students with educational resources, raise campus awareness, and advocate for additional support.

In 2025, the Undocumented Student Support Center was established within the Cultural Community Center, building on these efforts and creating a dedicated space for student guidance and community connection.

Today, the center continues to work with campus departments and community organizations to help students access educational opportunities, financial assistance, legal resources, and other essential support services.

Our Commitment

Our work reflects California's commitment to expanding educational opportunities for undocumented students.

Assembly Bill 1645 requires California community colleges to designate a Dreamer Resource Liaison who can help eligible students access financial aid, academic opportunities, and information about additional support services. The legislation also encourages the development of Dream Resource Centers.

At Las Positas College, our UndocuLiaison and campus partners work to help students navigate available resources and pursue their educational and career goals.
