Student Appeals and Complaints

Calling all Stars! We value your input. How can we continue to enhance your LCC experience? Whether you have suggestions, comments, or complaints, we want to hear from you. Please share your thoughts with us here.

Please note that this option is designed to gather feedback only and does not supersede or replace appeal, complaint, misconduct, or grievance procedures already in place. 

Make a Suggestion

A complaint is any concern that LCC has violated a law or policy or has incorrectly applied an established process. Complaint forms submitted do not supersede or replace misconduct or grievance procedures already in place.

1. First attempt to resolve matters with the instructor or staff person involved.
2. If not resolved, contact the supervisor of the instructor or staff member involved to seek a resolution.
3. If the issue remains unresolved, submit a Student Complaint form.

STUDENT COMPLAINT Procedure

If you have a concern regarding your educational experience at LCC follow these steps.

1. First attempt to resolve your concern with your instructor member.
2. If not resolved, contact the program or department Director to seek a resolution.
3. If the issue remains unresolved, submit a Student Complaint Form.

STUDENT COMPLAINT Procedure

Accommodation concerns can be submitted using the Disability Grievance Procedure.

Student and employee concerns regarding:

• sexual misconduct
• harassment
• sexual violence
• discrimination

See the Title IX and Sexual Misconduct Resources webpage for details on how to submit a complaint.

Students whose financial aid has been suspended due to not maintaining satisfactory academic progress can submit a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeal.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

A Final Grade Appeal should only be submitted when the student believes that the final course grade is incorrect.

Mistakes in calculations, computer errors, or assignment misunderstandings are resolved informally by contacting your instructor.

Final Grade Dispute Procedure.

If you have experienced extenuating circumstances out of your control, such as an emergency or unexpected event, an Administrative Appeal may be submitted to request an exception to college policy regarding published deadlines or procedures.

Appeals must be supported with documented evidence, i.e. copies of emails, My Academic Pathways (MAPs), D2L communications, and proof of residency. Documentation is required for the appeal to be processed.

If you believe your educational record is incorrect, please contact the Registrar's Office at 517-483-1200 or by email at registrar@lcc.edu for guidance.
