     • Keep a record of investigations 
     • Call the Sonoma/Napa Rapid Response Network Hotline
4. SRJC employees will not ask about a student’s immigration status except when required by law or for registration purposes. SRJC employees may ask about eligibility for residency based on AB540 Nonresident Tuition Exemption.

Obligations to Protect the Community from Immigration Enforcement (Per California Education Code)

1. Refrain from disclosing personal information concerning students, faculty, and staff, except under specified circumstances;
2. Notify the Office of the President, or her designee, as soon as possible if an immigration officer is expected to enter, or has entered, the campus to execute a federal immigration order;
3. Notify, as soon as possible, the emergency contact of a student, faculty, or staff person if there is a reason to suspect that the person has been taken into custody as the result of an immigration enforcement action;
4. Comply with a request from an immigration officer for access to nonpublic areas of the campus only upon a presentation of a judicial warrant, except as specified;
5. Advise all students, faculty, and staff responding to or having contact with an immigration officer executing a federal immigration order, to promptly refer the entity or individual to the office of the chancellor or president, for purposes of verifying the legality of any warrant, court order, or subpoena;
6. In the event that an undocumented student is detained, deported, or is unable to attend to his or her academic requirements due to the actions of an immigration officer in relation to a federal immigration order, the college or university shall make all reasonable efforts to assist the student in retaining any eligibility for financial aid, fellowship stipends, exemption from nonresident tuition fees, funding for research or other educational projects, housing stipends or services, or other benefits he or she has been awarded or received, and permit the student to be re-enrolled if and when the student is able to return to the college or university. It is the intent of the Legislature that, in implementing this paragraph, California colleges and universities make reasonable and good-faith efforts to provide for a seamless transition in a student’s re-enrollment and reacquisition of campus services and supports.
