Student Complaint/Grievance Procedure<br />

The educational mission of NECI includes fostering an open learning and work environment. Occasionally,<br />

students have a concern that needs to be addressed. Students are encouraged to discuss their concerns<br />

directly with the individuals involved, or with faculty, the Student Services Department, or any staff<br />

member, following the progressive Grievance procedures outlined in the Student Handbook. NECI’s faculty<br />

and staff are required to maintain confidentiality and must hold student identity in strict confidence,<br />

unless the health or safety of any individual in the NECI community is at risk.<br />

Schools accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges must have a<br />

procedure and operational plan for handling student complaints. If a student does not feel that the school<br />

has adequately addressed a complaint or concern, the student may consider contacting the Accrediting<br />

Commission. All complaints considered by the Commission must be in written form with permission<br />

from the complainant(s) for the Commission to forward a copy of the complaint to the school for a<br />

response. The complainant(s) will be kept informed as to the status of the complaint as well as the final<br />

resolution by the Commission. Please direct all inquiries to:<br />
