WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — Undocumented students could soon face new restrictions on attending some Florida universities.

According to the Florida Board of Governors’ agenda for its June 24 meeting, people who are not lawfully present in the United States would be prohibited from initially enrolling at certain state universities beginning with the 2027-28 academic year. The restriction would apply to universities that did not admit all academically qualified applicants during the previous two academic years.

Under the proposed regulation, “a person who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible for initial enrollment in any state university” that did not admit all academically qualified applicants during the previous two academic years. The change would take effect beginning with the 2027-28 academic year.

In short, the proposal would prevent undocumented students from newly enrolling at certain Florida universities that have recently turned away qualified applicants because of limited space.

According to reporting by the South Florida Sun Sentinel, the proposal would likely affect some of the state’s most competitive universities, including Florida State University, the University of Florida and the University of Central Florida, as well as other state universities that have recently turned away qualified applicants because of limited capacity.

The proposal is scheduled to be considered by the Florida Board of Governors during its June 24 meeting. The Board of Governors oversees Florida’s State University System.

The Sun Sentinel also reported that the State Board of Education, which oversees Florida’s 28 state colleges, is scheduled to vote June 30 on a similar proposal that would restrict enrollment in state colleges and adult education programs for people who are not lawfully present in the United States.

The proposal specifically addresses initial enrollment and does not mention students who are already attending Florida universities.

If approved, Florida would join Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina in adopting enrollment policies that bar students without legal status from attending certain public colleges and universities, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
