Before the state of Colorado passed Senate Bill 13-033, the ASSET Bill, Colorado State University (CSU) administration was mostly unaware that undocumented students were attending the institution.

This session will detail how CSU followed a best-practices approach to recruiting, awarding, enrolling and supporting undocumented students on their quest of obtaining a higher education.
