The Commission requires that students utilize and complete their institution's grievance procedure in an attempt to resolve any complaint or concern before submitting a complaint to
the Commission. If the institution’s resolution is not satisfactory, a student may
then appeal to the Commission, but it will not investigate a complaint unless the
student has exhausted all available grievance procedures outlined by the institution.
