Welcome DREAMers!

San Bernardino Valley College’s DREAMers Resource Center (DRC) is designed to improve student success and help to successfully transition undocumented students, DACA students and those from mixed status families into college. The center provides academic advising, counseling, referrals to student services programs and peer-to-peer advising in a welcoming environment where DREAMers can connect with campus and community resources. All services are provided in English and Spanish.

The DRC uses Student Equity and Student Success funds to advise students about the Federal Dream Act, the California Dream Act and Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals (DACA) laws. DREAMers visiting the DRC are provided resources intended to assist students in completing their educational and career goals.
