Barton Student Problem Resolution Procedure
The college encourages an open and frank atmosphere in which any problem, complaint, suggestion, or question receives a timely response from the appropriate college staff.

Board of Trustees Student Complaint Process
Follow the Board of Trustees Student Complaint Process to submit a complaint to the Board. Complaints can be about anything general or systemic in nature impacting many students. Examples: The instructor for the “XYZ” course did not show up for half of the scheduled classes. The classroom did not have air-conditioning resulting in a poor learning environment. One of the courses required for my program is only offered once a year resulting in taking longer for me to complete my program. Use the BOT Student Complaint Process.
Filing a Complaint with the Higher Learning Commission
Individuals interested in bringing an appropriate complaint to the attention of the Higher Learning Commission should take some time to compile a complete submission as outlined on the Higher Learning Commission website.
