Student Complaints, Concerns and Compliments

Cuyahoga Community College strives to provide every student with a successful and positive educational experience. As part of its continuous improvement efforts, the College maintains procedures to address and resolve legitimate student and community concerns.  

Depending upon the nature of the concern, different offices across the College facilitate these procedures. The Student Affairs Office at each campus facilitates many general complaints and concerns, while the Academic Affairs Office at each campus facilitates academic concerns and grade disputes. In addition, the Office of Institutional Equity (OIE) is responsiblefor coordinating the resolution of complaints of harrassment and discrimination of protected classes, sexual misconduct and Title IX. The Title IX and ADA Coordinators serve to coordinate the resolution process.

The College’s Procedure on Student Complaints and Grade Disputes along with information about College policy 3354: 1-60-01 related to harrassment and discrimination of protected classes is included in the Student Handbook. Copies are available electronically.
