Know Your Rights!

If you are approached by someone asking you for information about a student or employee:

Do not provide them with any information about students or staff. You are not authorized to release information about students or staff. This includes identifying students in a course.
Ask the individual who they are and who they represent. If they say immigration or any law enforcement agency, get their name and credential, and notify the college president's office at (559) 489-2212, AND the SCCCD police department, (559) 244-5911.
Be polite and professional, and do not lie to immigration or law enforcement officer or agent.

You can say:

"California law and campus administrative policies do not authorize me to share student or employee information. Please come with me to the college president's office."
Follow directions provided by the president's office or campus police
department.
