In 2015, the Alabama Legislature vested oversight of the state鈥檚 public two-year institutions of higher education (known as the Alabama Community College System (ACCS)) with the Alabama Community College System Board of Trustees. The Alabama Legislature further directed the Board of Trustees to delegate to the System鈥檚 Chancellor the authority to act and make decisions concerning the management and operation of the community and technical colleges. The Chancellor is assisted in these duties by the staff of the System Office, formerly known as the Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education. Consumer and student complaints that are not resolved at the institutional level will be arbitrated at the state level by the ACCS System Office.
The ACCS is committed to respecting and supporting the work of its member institutions and to providing a quality educational experience for all students. The objective of the student complaint process is to ensure that the concerns and complaints of students are addressed fairly and are resolved promptly. The Alabama Community College System requires each institution to establish its own procedures to address student grievances and complaints. A student must exhaust his/her rights under the institution鈥檚 official complaint/grievance policy before advancing any complaint to the System Office of Alabama Community College System. The procedures for filing student complaints are outlined on the College鈥檚 Website and Students may file consumer/student complaints with the Alabama Community College System by following these procedures:聽Student Complaint Procedures.
