What we do

The Office for Graduate Diversity is honored to serve the needs of current and formerly undocumented graduate students at UC Berkeley in partnership with the Undocumented Students Program (USP).

Undocumented students in graduate and professional degree programs are welcome to utilize the Inclusive Excellence Hub, a community space within the Office for Graduate Diversity open to all graduate students. Additionally, they can access services offered by USP, including immigration legal support, mental health resources, and financial assistance.
