Undocumented Students
CCA will wind down its current operations and will close by the end of the 2026-2027 academic year. Vanderbilt will then become the owner of the campus and will establish undergraduate and graduate programming, including art and design programs, at the campus. Read the full announcement.
We understand you may have many questions and have included detailed Q&As below for spring/summer/fall 2026 applicants and spring 2026 admits. For other questions not addressed here, please email [email protected].
Introduction
A safe space for all
Regardless of circumstance
We offer resources to undocumented students, including DACA, DREAM Act, and AB 540 students. Your privacy is protected by law, and as an applicant and student of CCA, your immigration status will remain confidential, as will your grades, records, and medical information—regardless of who you come in contact with on campus.

Connect to campus allies
CCA’s Division of Student Affairs and community members throughout the college are here to support all students, including those who may be impacted by any changes to the DACA program. To connect with campus support allies, look for offices displaying the “dreamers” butterfly logo.
CCA staff members are also prepared to communicate with undocumented students who have questions about student employment, financial aid, or immigration attorney referrals.
