Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Resources
DACA students at UNLV encounter unique stressors, due to their documentation status. UNLV provides students with a resource coordinator, Mariana Sarmiento Hernandez, for assistance with documentation status for both student and family members. Students may also utilize the Immigration Clinic for legal assistance. Students may also contact Nayelli Rico Lopez for Immigrant Student Support or visit the Undocumented Student Program website for more information.
