Both Cal State Monterey Bay and the California State University system encourage all members of our campus communities to review and share information and resources regarding immigration enforcement activities.

Shared Resources for All

From recognizing and embracing our rich diversity of religious observances, to meaningful support services, to fostering a sense of equity and inclusion, these resources are powerful tools for the entire campus community. 

Immigration Support for Faculty, Staff and Student Employees

The following CSU resources are available to address immigration enforcement activity that may affect members of the CSU community.  All CSU employees are encouraged to review and share this information and to share Resources for Undocumented Students with concerned students. Information and resources addressing federal policy updates that impact the CSU are available on the CSU Federal Updates webpage.

If an immigration officer asks you to identify a student or employee, requests employee or student records or information, or requests access to campus areas:

  • Follow the instructions on the Immigration Protocol Card
  • STAY CALM: Safety is our top priority so we remind everyone to remain calm
  • REPORT: Students, faculty or staff should direct agents to Cal State Monterey Bay’s University Police Department and notify UPD at 831-582-3573 that agents are on campus.
  • DO NOT INTERFERE or OBSTRUCT if an agent is insistent on entering a building
