Filing An Internal Grievance 

Pursuant to the United States Department of Education’s Program Integrity Rule, each institution of higher education is required to provide all prospective and current students with the contact information of the state agency or agencies that handle complaints against postsecondary education institutions offering distance learning within that state.

Students wishing to file a complaint, whether academic or non-academic, are encouraged to utilize Georgia State University’s internal complaint or review policies and procedures prior to filing with a state agency. The University will take appropriate action to seek resolution when a student complaint is brought to our attention. Please see the Student Code of Conduct and Policies and Procedures for Filing a Student Complaint for further information on this process.
