Dalton State flag undocumented students

Dalton State College has been flagged by the Georgia university system as having the largest share of undocumented students in the state.

But school officials say they have no way of knowing how many of those are illegal residents.

“Undocumented does not mean illegal,” said Dalton State President John Schwen.

Some could be self-identified illegal residents while some could be U.S. residents without the proper documents.

Students classified as undocumented could not prove Georgia residency status and will be charged out-of state tuition.
