San Diego Miramar College, in alignment with the San Diego Community College District Board of Trustees, is deeply committed to the inclusion of all people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, heritage, national origin, immigration status, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, medical condition, or disability.
The Dreamer Support Services Office provides programs and services which help empower undocumented students to achieve their academic and personal pursuits and become active members of our communities. We serve as a resource for undocumented students (i.e., AB540, DACA, mixed-status families) on topics pertaining to current events, legislation updates, legal assistance, resources and more.
Summer 2022 Office Hours:
