The Student Complaint/Grievance Procedure is designed to provide a prompt and equitable means for resolving student complaints. Follow these instructions, depending on the type of complaint you have:

GENERAL COMPLAINTS

A general student complaint may be filed by a student who feels an action of a College staff member, office, or group violates an existing College rule, policy, or procedure or other local, state, or federal law. For general complaints, please follow the steps below.

GENERAL COMPLAINTS STEP I – INFORMAL RESOLUTION

Students that have a complaint should be encouraged to seek an informal remedy, as described in the steps below. The student is expected to complete the following steps before making a formal complaint.

  1. Meet with the person with whom the student has a complaint (whenever possible). If there is no resolution, proceed to step 2.
  2. Meet with that person's immediate supervisor. If there is no resolution, proceed to step 3.
  3. Meet with the appropriate college Administrator/Dean (see Chart One below). If there is no resolution, proceed to step 4.
  4. Meet with the area Vice President (see Chart Two below). If there still no resolution, proceed to General Complaints Step II Formal Resolution (below).
