Mission

The Immigrant Student Success Center was created to provide legal, academic, financial, and socioemotional support to immigrant, undocumented, DACA, TPS, refugee students, and students in mixed-status families. Our staff works toward providing a welcoming safe space that helps our students develop a sense of community, emotional well-being, and empowerment.

Vision

To create spaces that empower and support undocumented and immigrant students academic and personal success.

Values

We understand that that the immigration system impacts undocumented and immigrant students beyond the classroom, and we aim to provide holistic services that center students mental health and wellbeing.

We center community building, leadership and self-advocacy as a way of resistance to xenophobic immigration policies that impact student lives.

We center the voices and experiences of directly impacted students to take action through resources, community building, and programming.

We support all students, families, and communities impacted by our immigration system, including students in mixed status families.

INDIVIDUAL TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (ITIN)

# data[].attributes.body
An ITIN is a 9-digit number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to enable individuals who do not have SSNs to file and pay taxes. Though the IRS issues ITINs for the sole purpose of enabling people without a SSN to file and pay taxes, an ITIN can be used for various additional purposes – including pursuing career opportunities through independent contracting, freelancing, or starting a business.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An ITIN does not authorize you to work in the U.S, nor does it change your immigration status.

An ITIN is a 9-digit number issued by the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) to enable individuals who do not have SSNs to file and pay taxes. Though the IRS issues ITINs for the sole purpose of enabling people without a SSN to file and pay taxes, an ITIN can be used for various additional purposes - including pursuing career opportunities through independent contracting, freelancing, or starting a business.

An undocumented individual will need a valid Social Security Number (SSN) or ITIN to do business and pay taxes as an independent contractor, freelancer, or business owner.
