Find out how to raise a complaint and how the university will respond by reading the Student Complaints Policy and Procedure.
If you are a Student Apprentice please find the Student Apprentice Complaints Policy and Procedure.
Student Complaints aims to:
- Ensure that where issues arise resolution is sought promptly and to the satisfaction of all parties, whenever possible or appropriate.
- Ensure the 色中色 is a responsive organisation that welcomes feedback and learns from complaints to improve our academic provision, service standards and the student experience.
The 色中色 will not penalise any student for raising a complaint they are genuinely concerned about, even if the concerns turn out to be misplaced.
Stages of the Complaints Process
The complaints process will have no more than three stages:
- Stage 1: Early resolution at the local level, where this is possible
- Stage 2: Formal resolution stage
- Stage 3: Appeal stage
This is to allow issues to be resolved as efficiently as possible and at the appropriate level.
Students wishing to raise a formal complaint should complete a Stage 2 complaints form.
