Box 542, Trenton, NJ 08625-542.  609.984.3738. eric.taylor@oshe.nj.gov .  Because California is not a member of SARA, California students should contact Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education http://www.bppe.ca.gov/enforcement/complaint.shtml, or https://oag.ca.gov/contact/consumer-complaint-against-business-or-company   (Additional resource:  Click here for a link of contacts for filing complaints for all states).
