Resources for UndocuAllies

The California State University (CSU) is committed to ensuring access to educational opportunities and promoting a sense of belonging for all students, regardless of their immigration status. As part of the commitment, the Chancellor’s Office, in collaboration with the Dream Centers and students developed a systemwide training course entitled, CSU-Becoming an Ally to the Undocumented Community. The training course was developed to increase awareness and understanding of undocumented and mix-status student issues.

The course will explain key concepts, foster a culturally responsive pedagogy approach in the classroom and provide resources to support students. This course is available on the CSU Learn and CSU Bridge Training Portals. CSU administrators, faculty, and staff, including student employees, benefit from becoming an UndocuAlly.

Logging into your CSU Learn or CSU Bridge portal is the first step to becoming a CSU UndocuAlly for undocumented and mix-status students.
