Student Complaint Process

Informal Resolution

Students are strongly encouraged to resolve any concern by talking with the staff member or administrator and, if necessary, their supervisor, in an attempt to reach a resolution before resorting to filing a formal complaint.

Grade Appeals

The formal complaint process is not for grade appeals. Should a student wish to contest a grade earned in a class should complete a Grade Appeal Action Form (PDF).
