Support for CSUF Students
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.
- If an immigration officer declares that exigent circumstances exist and demands immediate access, comply with the officer's request and contact CSUF PD immediately.
- Contact Risk Management at 657-278-7475.
Anne Grogan, John Beisner and Michael Coughlin in the Office of Risk Management and Compliance are the only designated campus officials who may respond to an immigration officer’s request. This is a monitored line. If the contact occurs outside of business hours, call 657-278-7475 or the CSUF Police Department at 657-278-2515.
International Students
Resources for international students are available through International Education and Engagement.
Undocumented and DACA Students
Students seeking assistance or support regarding DACA or undocumented status, including questions about funding needs and financial aid, immigration status, and how potential changes to immigration laws and policies may impact them, contact the Titan Dreamers Resource Center at tdrc@fullerton.edu.
Legal Services
CARECEN offers free immigration legal services to current students, their immediate family members (including parents and siblings), and alumni who graduated within the past two years.
Additional legal services are provided on the Titan Dreamers Resource Center and on the CSU resources for undocumented students pages.
Financial Aid Applications
The 2025-26 financial aid application cycle officially began on December 2, 2024. Understanding that students and their families may have concerns about privacy when completing financial aid applications, the California Student Aid Commission has provided the attached memo and published a website with information for 2025-26 financial aid for mixed status families.
Mental Health
Mental and emotional health counseling and support are available through Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS).
Individual short-term counseling and consultation sessions are offered by CAPS. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, call CAPS at 657-278-3040 (available 24/7) and ask to speak with the on-call therapist.
