Important Facts to Know

The university does not share information with anyone, including law enforcement authorities, about immigration status, religion, nationality, ethnicity or other information about individual students and employees without a student or employee’s permission, unless presented with a judicially issued subpoena or other legally binding requirement. Immigration enforcement is the responsibility of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, not the university.

The following administrators are the only campus administrators who may verify the legality of any warrants, court orders and/or subpoenas or determine whether an immigration officer may access an area of the university.

Cal State San Bernardino keeps student and personnel records private and will not share such information with immigration agencies unless legally compelled to do so.

The CSUSB Police Department does not have responsibility for immigration enforcement.

Consistent with the approach of law enforcement agencies in San Bernardino County (or California), it does not inquire about immigration status in the normal course of its duties and will not participate with other agencies in immigration enforcement activities unless legally required to do so.
