Nuestra Graduación (Our Graduation) Celebration

The Latinx Student Union, Latine Resource Center, and the Student Affairs Division invites you to join them as they celebrate the academic accomplishments of all Latinx students at CSULB. Due to the high demand, we offer two celebration sessions.

The graduation ceremony is only open to Fall 24, Winter 24, Spring 25, Summer 25, and Fall 25 graduates.

Particularly as federal immigration policies evolve, there may be concerns that representatives and officers from U.S. immigration enforcement agencies may visit university campuses across the country. While we have no knowledge of any planned visit to our campus, we offer this information. The university does not share information about immigration status, religion, nationality, ethnicity or other personal information about individual students or employees with anyone, including law enforcement authorities, without the student’s or employee’s permission, unless presented with a judicially issued warrant, court order, subpoena, or other legally binding requirement. Immigration enforcement is the responsibility of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, not the university. Consistent with the approach of law enforcement agencies in California, our University Police department does not inquire about immigration status in the normal course of its duties.
