Each section is divided into important milestones that occur during the graduate school process. Topics addressed include the application process, accessing financial aid, transportation, employment, taxes and resources for support.  \nThe focus of this guide is to provide insight and recommendations to the undocumented population in relation to graduate school and life after graduation. Extensive guides and resources currently exist for undocumented students who have received DACA protection, equivalent resources and guides are scarce for undocumented graduate students who do not have DACA protection. Thus, the bulk of this guide is tailored to those without DACA status.  \nTable of Contents  \nContents  \nI.
