This article documents the integration actions of Haitian migrants in Mexicali, B. C. into local Higher Education Institutions (HEI). The qualitative method is used through documentary analysis and fieldwork. Through a literature review, indicators are defined to establish lines of action aimed at the optimal insertion of migrants in HEIs in Mexico. In the fieldwork, in-depth semi-structured interviews were carried out with Haitian university students, and their experience within the HEI is measured by grouping the indicators into three dimensions: institutional, cultural, and structural. Successful integration actions are identified, most of which are internal strategies corresponding to HEIs, although there are no special programs to attend to migrant groups. Likewise, their limitations are shown, and recommendations are made.

Keywords : integration; universities; migrants; Haiti; Baja California.
