Student Complaints

Two students, a South Asian young woman and a white male student sit in a college office. The back of an older white man's head is slightly visble in the lefthand side of the image. The students are smiling and there are papers spread out across the desk.

As a community of learners that values trust and reverence for each one’s dignity, diversity in human culture and experience, and persistence and courage in promoting justice with compassion, the College's policies and procedures for student complaints emphasize that students work with each other, with individual staff in offices, or with faculty to resolve any complaints.

Student Complaint Policy

The following policies and practices exist for resolving student complaints at the College:

Students having a complaint that requires resolution are also encouraged to complete the student complaint form, which is forwarded to the Office of Student Affairs.

The U. S. Department of Education requires that colleges and universities have effective policies and procedures for tracking and resolving student complaints

Students may also file a complaint with the Pennsylvania Department of Education of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (the College's regional accreditation agency).
