COMPLAINT & GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
NOTICE TO STUDENTS: ACCET COMPLAINT PROCEDURE
Reference: ACCET Document 49.1
This institution is recognized by the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education & Training (ACCET) as meeting
and maintaining certain standards of quality. It is the mutual goal of ACCET and the institution to ensure that
quality educational training programs are provided. When issues or problems arise, students should make every
attempt to find a fair and reasonable solution through the institution’s internal complaint procedure, which is
required of ACCET-accredited institutions and frequently requires the submission of a written complaint. Refer to
the institution’s written complaint procedure, which is published in the institution’s catalog or otherwise
available from the institution, upon request. Note that ACCET will process complaints that involve ACCET
standards and policies and, therefore, are within the scope of the accrediting agency.
If a student has used the institution’s formal student complaint procedure, and the issue has not been resolved,
the student has the right and is encouraged to submit a complaint to ACCET in writing via the online form on the
ACCET website (https://accet.org/about-us/contact-us).
The online form will require the following information:
1. Name and location of the ACCET institution
2. A detailed description of the alleged problem(s)
3. The approximate date(s) that the problem(s) occurred
4. The names and titles/positions of all persons involved in the problem(s), including faculty, staff, and/or
other students
5. What was previously done to resolve the complaint, along with evidence demonstrating that the
institution’s complaint procedure was followed prior to contacting ACCET
6. The name, email address, telephone number, and mailing address of the complainant. If the
complainant specifically requests that anonymity be maintained, ACCET will not reveal his or her name to
the institution involved
7. The status of the complainant with the institution (e.g., current student, former student)
Please include copies of any relevant supporting documentation (e.g., student’s enrollment agreement, syllabus
or course outline, correspondence between the student and the institution).
