Student Grievance Procedures
This institution is dedicated to fair dealing and professional conduct. Should any student have a complaint, the student is asking to discuss the matter directly with an instructor or administrator. That instructor or administrator will engage in an informal process endeavoring to settle the dispute in good faith. That informal process will involve three steps: 1: an effort to define the problem, 2: an effort to identify acceptable options for resolution, and 3: an attempt to resolve the conflict through the
application of one or more of those options for resolution. The student may thereafter choose to file a written complaint directly with the institution's School Director who will work to resolve the matter.
That individual will investigate all formal (written) complaints, endeavor to resolve all such complaints, and record an entry into the institution's official log. The formal process will require the student's submission of a written description of the specific allegations and the desired remedy, accompanied by any available documentary items. The School Director will notify the student of the decision reached. At any time, the student also has the right to file a complaint with the Bureau for
Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education, 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite S202, Sacramento,
CA 95834, Tel. (916) 574-7720
