Dream ND Community
At the University of Notre Dame, we are committed to assembling a community of talented individuals regardless of their backgrounds, financial circumstances, or national origins.
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion arises from our aspirations to form the community we want to be, the educational environment we hope to provide our students, and the moral character they will develop during their time with us.
In this context, the University of Notre Dame will continue to support undocumented immigrants and DACA students, seek to maintain their enrollment, and assist them financially, academically and with legal matters..
