Student Consumer Complaint Process
The U.S. Department of Education has developed a set of regulations to improve the integrity of programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act. Referred to as the Program Integrity rules, the regulations require that each college or university ensure access to a complaint process that will permit students to address the following:
- Alleged violations of State consumer protection laws that include but are not limited to fraud and false advertising;
- Alleged violations of State laws or rules relating to the licensure of postsecondary institutions; and
- Complaints relating to the quality of education or other State or accreditation requirements.

The Offices of the Provost and Executive Vice President, Student Life, Admission, Enrollment Services (Bursar, Financial Aid), and the Registrar) all provide specific administrative means to address and resolve questions and concerns.
