This study investigates how institutional policies at Westminster University and Salt Lake Community College impact the experiences of unhoused college students in Utah. By understanding these policies, I aim to identify necessary changes to better support this underrepresented population. The research employs a mixed-methods approach. Ethnographic methods will provide insights through direct observation of student interactions and institutional environments. Autoethnographic research will draw on my own experiences as an unhoused student. Additionally, I conduct 6-10 semi-structured interviews with current or recent students who have experienced homelessness while enrolled in higher education. The interview process will begin in the Fall 2024 semester. Through this comprehensive approach, the study seeks to shed light on the lived experiences of unhoused college students and suggest policy changes to improve their educational journey and overall well-being.
