Abstract	Last November, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on whether the administration could rescind Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), with the fate of over 650,000 DACA recipients in the balance. Under federal law, DACA recipients cannot access federal financial aid, so most rely on a mix of private scholarships, state or institutional aid, personal savings and multiple jobs to afford a college education. This article offers five ways universities and states can help their DACA and undocumented students, before and after the Supreme Court decision. These suggestions include: (1) encouraging DACA recipients to renew their status immediately; (2) auditing internal and external financial aid policies regarding DACA students; (3) amending state tuition and aid policies; (4) establishing alternative options for income generation; and (5) connecting students to campus resources.
