Immigration Resources
The California State University is committed to being a welcoming institution of higher education that is enhanced by our global community. The following are CSU resources for our international employees.
The CSU urges faculty, staff, and students to cautiously assess the need for international travel due to complex U.S. immigration laws. The following advisory highlights key risks for those in visa status or concerned about legal presence in the U.S. Members of the CSU community should review these considerations, which may affect travel plans, safety abroad, and reentry into the U.S. The guidance is issued to inform and help make prudent travel decisions, especially with spring break approaching.
