Undocumented Students To Be Denied Admission To N.C. Community Colleges: Upon the advice of the state attorney general’s office, the North Carolina Community College system will no longer admit undocumented students into degree-granting programs.
State Attorney General Roy Cooper advised the 58-campus system to revert to a directive, issued in December 2001, which barred undocumented immigrants from working toward a degree.
“We asked the Attorney General’s Office for clarification of our present policy and will abide by their advice,” said system President R. Scott Ralls in an official statement. “Until we receive further clarification, we will no longer admit individuals classified as illegal or undocumented immigrants to curriculum degree programs.”
