Immigration Resources & Support

ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ is committed to equity, inclusion, and the dignity of every member of our community. We recognize that immigration related concerns can create uncertainty and stress, and we want students, faculty, and staff to know that support is available.

Per our core values of social responsibility and intercultural understanding, our approach is grounded in student-centered support and care for the whole person. 

Promoting a Safe and Secure Campus

Our priority is to ensure the health and safety of all members of the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ community.

California Senate Bill 98 (SB 98), which was signed into law on Sept. 20, 2025, requires California K-12 schools, community college districts, California State Universities (CSUs), and Cal Grant-qualified independent institutions (including ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½) to immediately notify students, staff and faculty when federal immigration enforcement is present on campus.

In compliance with California State law (SB 98), members of the community will receive notification from Campus Safety in the event immigration enforcement is confirmed on campus. Information about the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Alert system, including how to sign up for notification on your mobile phone, can be found in the Emergency Safety and Emergency Preparedness section of this site.

To Report an Incident

Faculty, staff, and students who wish to report an emergency, or who wish to report the suspected presence of immigration enforcement on any of the campuses, should immediately contact Campus Safety by calling ( 909)607-2000 (7-2000 from a campus phone). DO NOT try to physically intervene. Tell the agent that you are not authorized to grant access and you must contact Campus Safety.

If you are a student who may or could be subject to an immigration order or inquiry on campus, please:

Call the Dean of Students office at (909) 621-8241 and email dsa@students.pitzer.edu.
If you are a member of the faculty or staff who may or could be subject to an immigration order or inquiry on campus, please:

Call the Office of Human Resources at (909) 621-8254 and email hr@pitzer.edu. 

Resources & Contact Information

If you have questions or concerns related to immigration, we encourage you to reach out. You are not alone.

Key Contacts



In certain situations, the College may also be able to connect students, faculty and staff with legal counsel for immigration-related matters, depending on need.

If you are unsure where to begin, contact any of the individuals and we will help connect you to the appropriate support. (Please note: This information will move to ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Hub app on March 23, 2026 when available to students. The app is available in the Apple or Google Play store to download.)
