The university is committed to maintaining a safe and inclusive environment and in alignment with the CSU’s commitment to ensuring academic opportunities are available to all the state’s students, regardless of citizenship status.
The University Police Department (UPD) does not take enforcement action based solely on a person’s immigration status. See the CSU’s FAQs for more information on UPD’s role in immigration enforcement.
What You Should Do
If you become aware of any federal immigration enforcement activity on campus, please immediately notify the University Police Department (UPD) at (310) 243-3639 or the appropriate designee listed below.
- If an immigration officer approaches you while on campus, please contact or refer them to the University Police Department.
- When contacting UPD via phone, tell the dispatcher you need the on-duty police manager for immediate response to immigration officers on campus and the location where you need assistance.
- UPD is the official department for direct communication with immigration officers.
- If you are approached, you are not required to answer questions and have the right to remain silent. You should avoid sharing information protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and other privacy laws and university policies.
