As the new year begins, so does a new semester at the university level and students applying for classes.

Right now, undocumented students falling under the new Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program, are gearing up to face a tough task.

Those students will have to fill out those applications to ensure their rights and spot at school.

The Austin based Texas Civil Rights Project is teaming up with the University of Texas Law School's pro bono program to lend a helping hand.

They'll host clinics and attorney Amelia Ruiz Fischer discusses what you can expect on Action 4 Sunrise.

Starting on Monday, Jan. 7th, they will be located at the IDEA College Prep School in San Juan from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. On Tuesday, they will be in Mission at IDEA College Prep from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. And on Thursday they will be gathering at UTB in Brownsville 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
