Immigration Support
Adelphi University: Supporting Our Vulnerable Populations.
Adelphi University is dedicated to creating a welcoming environment where every member of our community can work, learn, and thrive without fear of harassment, intimidation, or discrimination.
We recognize that students who identify as part of vulnerable populations—including Immigrant-intending, Asylum-seeking, DACA, Dreamers, International, Temporary Protected Status, and Undocumented students—may face unique challenges as they prepare for and navigate their academic journeys.
To address these barriers, International Services continuously monitors issues related to immigration and regulatory changes that impact our university community. When necessary, the International and Immigration Task Force activates a cross-campus response team to review student support resources and recommend strategies to eliminate obstacles to student success.
At Adelphi, we are committed to providing the guidance, resources, and support our students need to overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

The International and Immigration Task Force serves as a vital resource for the campus community to support and advocate for the rights, privacy and well-being of all students. By actively monitoring changes in immigration policies and regulations, the task force reviews student support resources and recommends strategies to eliminate barriers to success, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for all.
