A 2006 voter-approved law spells out that any person who is not a U.S. citizen or “legal resident’’ or is “without lawful immigration status’’ is ineligible to be charged the same tuition at state colleges and universities available to residents.
Therefore, as per the state law, if the feds do not recognize one as a 'legal resident' they cannot receive in-state tuition. The schools were arguing that one's acceptance into the DACA program bestowed upon them 'legal resident' status for the purposes of the law, while the state was arguing it did not.

The state argued the same thing with driver's licenses and they were rebuffed.

Damn even in TX we had in state tuition prior to DACA. Only way I was able to afford it. All you needed it was a waiver and 3 years of HS in the state.

Do you guys think its worth going even if it takes years to finish? (2-3 classes a semester)Do job prospects go down the drain if this route is taken? Any experiences would be appreciated.
I applied for an online program out of state. They say they don't accept EAD as proof of visa. Are people with DACA not allowed to attend ASU?
