Florida Public Universities Prohibit Undocumented Student Enrollment

Florida's State University System Board of Governors has voted to ban undocumented students from its 12 public universities, effective for the 2027-2028 academic year. This decision expands on a June ruling by the Florida Board of Education that also barred undocumented students from public colleges and GED programs. The policy change significantly impacts access to higher education for undocumented individuals within the state.
