Bill > SB307

This bill requires the California State University (CSU) trustees and requests the University of California (UC) regents to implement additional protections for undocumented students facing federal immigration orders. Specifically, the bill mandates that university staff and designated Dreamer Resource Liaisons assist undocumented students in accessing financial aid and academic resources, and ensures that a student's detainment, deportation, or inability to attend classes due to immigration actions does not impact their eligibility for nonresident tuition exemptions. The bill also requires CSU (and requests UC) to develop a systemwide policy addressing how course grades, administrative withdrawals, and reenrollment will be handled for undocumented students who are unable to attend courses because of immigration-related detention or deportation. This policy must include a provision for students to be reenrolled and retain their previous academic status upon providing written confirmation of their intent to return to the institution. The bill aims to provide additional support and academic continuity for undocumented students facing potential disruption from immigration enforcement actions.
