Tool Search: Refugee
Refugee programs are designed to support Indiana students with refugee status between the ages of birth and 18 or those 18 and older who are enrolled in high school or a high school equivalent GED program. Program services focus on new arrivals and those who have been in the U.S. for five years or less and continue to face integration and academic challenges.
Students may have multiple Refugee records. However, Refugee program dates may not overlap. Before creating a new record, all previous records must be end-dated and assigned a Reason Exited status.
