Keep WA Working

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusivity
网赌正规真人实体在线平台 remains steadfast in its values of diversity, equity, and inclusion and the right of all students to pursue their educational goals free from unlawful interference.

网赌正规真人实体在线平台 does not have a legal obligation to enforce federal immigration laws. We are not, and will not become, a law enforcement agency.

Admissions and Immigration Status 
Open Access to Education – As an open-access institution, 网赌正规真人实体在线平台 does not base admission decisions on immigration or citizenship status.

Campus Safety – Our campus security personnel will never question, detain, or attempt to enforce immigration laws based on immigration status.

Privacy Protections
Student Records Are Protected – As required by federal law, 网赌正规真人实体在线平台 does not disclose protected student information except in response to a lawfully issued subpoena or court order.

Directory Information Opt-Out – Some student information, called “directory information,” may be shared under federal law. Students have the right to opt out of directory information sharing. Learn more about FERPA and the opt-out process.

Access to Campus
Public vs. Non-Public Spaces – 网赌正规真人实体在线平台 has public areas but also designated spaces for students and employees to fulfill its educational mission.

These non-public areas will not be accessible to immigration enforcement without a judicial order or warrant:

• Academic spaces like classrooms and labs
• Faculty and staff office spaces
• Conference rooms
• Student service areas like Counseling or Disability Support Services
• The residence hall
• Other locked or restricted areas labeled as private

Financial Aid Information
FAFSA & WASFA – Students and families may feel hesitant to apply for financial aid due to immigration concerns.

Eligibility Support – Our Student Financial Aid Specialist team is available to help students determine eligibility for WASFA (Washington Application for State Financial Aid) or FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

Confidentiality – 网赌正规真人实体在线平台 is committed to protecting student privacy. Personal information from FAFSA or WASFA is never shared for immigration enforcement unless required by a valid court order or judicial warrant.
