How to Resolve a Complaint or Grievance

For students who wish to file a complaint, a grievance, or appeal a decision, LSSC has adopted both an informal and formal process to ensure that students have access to a fair, equitable and timely course of action. As outlined in LSSC Administrative Procedure 4.14, students have the right to appeal administrative decisions and are encouraged to use available informal means in the resolution of the complaint prior to filing a formal grievance or appeal. 

If the matter cannot be resolved through the informal process as shown in the LSSC Resolution of Student Complaints/Grievances Chart, the student may elect to proceed through a formal written grievance or appeal process.
