The Student Grievance Procedure
The Student Grievance Procedure is available to all students who seek to resolve various academic and non-academic written grievances or complaints against college employees or other students. It is hoped that students’ concerns can be resolved informally without use of the procedure. However, if resolution cannot be achieved informally and student seeks a formal resolution, the procedure requires that the student confirm the grievance or complaint in writing and that the appropriate procedure shall be followed.
Within the Student Grievance Procedure, there is a description of examples of the types of issues that would use either the Academic Grievance Procedure or the Non-Academic Grievance Procedure. These items are found in the RCC Catalog & Student Handbook. The form to use for filing either an academic or a non-academic grievance is located in Etrieve Central on the RCC website.
