Will 成人头条 share my immigration status with the federal government?

No.  成人头条 does not release student records without written consent from the student or a lawfully issued subpoena, warrant or judicial order. Immigration status is part of the student record that is protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).  

Are there majors not available to undocumented students?
成人头条 offers all students, regardless of citizenship status, the same majors and degrees. However, some programs lead to internships, licensures, certifications or employment that require a social security number. Undergraduate students should contact an academic advisor and graduate students should contact their program advisor to discuss these programs.
