The Butler Center is proud to support all undocumented people and all CC students regardless of their immigration status. 

Navigating college is challenging, however, navigating college as an undocumented has its own unique challenges and we are committed to ensuring that all undocumented students thrive at Colorado College. If you have questions or need support, please contact Christian Gonzalez, Director of the Butler Center at butlercenter@coloradocollege.edu 

Each year, Colorado College enrolls at least 2 undocumented students at CC, with complete funding (100% of need met). This means their CC Financial Aid covers Room/Board + Tuition (Full Ride). These funds are allocated especially for undocumented students in our Financial Aid Budget and special funds. 

On June 15, 2012, the Secretary of Homeland Security announced that certain people who came to the United States as children and meet several key guidelines may request consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (deferred action from removal proceedings) for a period of two years, subject to renewal. Those granted deferred action are also eligible for work authorization. A grant of deferred action is temporary and does not provide a path to lawful permanent resident status or U.S. citizenship. However, a person granted deferred action is considered by the federal government to be lawfully present in the U.S. for as long as the grant of deferred action is in effect.
