In 2018, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) launched the California State University Immigration Legal Services Project. This project provides free immigration legal services to all current students, staff (state and auxiliary), faculty, immediate family members of current students, recent graduates (who graduated within two years), and newly admitted students who have accepted their admissions.

- Legal Consultations
- DACA Renewal and DACA Advance Parole
- Family Based Petitions
- Adjustment of Status
- Special Immigrant Juvenile Status
- Asylum
- U Visa
- Naturalization
- Removal Defense
