Grievance Procedures
ADA Grievance Procedures
The University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton has adopted an internal grievance procedure for prompt and equitable
resolution of complaints alleging any action prohibited by the U. S. Department of Justice regulations implementing Title II of the Americans
with Disabilities Act. Title II states, in part, that “no otherwise qualified disabled individual shall, solely by reason of such disability, be
excluded from the participation, be denied the benefits for, or be subjected to discrimination in programs or activities sponsored by a public
entity.”
Complaints should be addressed to: Vice Chancellor for Student Services, University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton, 1537
University Blvd., Morrilton, Arkansas 72110, who has been designated to coordinate ADA compliance.
• n A complaint should be filed in writing, contain the name and address of the person filing the complaint, and briefly describe the alleged
violation of the regulations.
• n A complaint should be filed within five working days after the complainant becomes aware of the alleged violation.
• n An investigation, as may be appropriate, shall follow a filing of a complaint. The investigation shall be conducted by the Vice
Chancellor for Student Services. This process includes an informal but thorough investigation, affording all interested persons and their
representatives, if any, an opportunity to submit evidence related to a complaint.
• n A written description as to the validity of the complaint and a description of the resolution, if any, shall be issued by the Vice Chancellor for
Student Services and a copy mailed to the complainant no later than 10 days after its filing.
• n The ADA Coordinator shall maintain the files and records of UACCM relating to the complaints filed.
• n The complainant can request a reconsideration of the case in instances where he/she is dissatisfied with the resolution. The request for
reconsideration should be made within 10 days to the Chancellor, University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton.
• n The right of a person to a prompt and equitable resolution of the complaint filed hereunder shall not be impaired by the person’s pursuit
of other remedies such as filing of an ADA complaint with the responsible federal department or agency. Use of this grievance procedure is
not a prerequisite to the pursuit of other remedies.
Student Grievance Procedures
Any alleged grievance which a student, including online students, may have regarding a College employee, an institutional regulation, and/
or the interpretation and application of such regulation may be considered under this procedure.
Individuals wanting to resolve a grievance informally may contact the Vice Chancellor for Student Services before filing a formal grievance.
The person should first discuss his/her grievance with the person responsible for the action, interpretation, or application of the regulations
leading to the problem.
