Complaints: For complaints regarding FERPA, Student Conduct, Title IX, or for concerns / grievances / complaints about other matters:

Please refer to: Procedures for Student Grievances or Complaints. Also relevant: FERPA, Student Conduct (page 13 (including section on appeals) of Student Handbook [pdf]), or Title IX (Title IX webpage). Students who have other concerns or grievances should follow the processes outlined on page 51 of the Student Handbook [pdf].

Complaints: Attempts to resolve complaints should always occur first using processes internal to GCU (see links above).  For complaints about GCU that cannot be resolved by following the processes described through the above links, or for which those processes are not appropriate, contact:

  1. State of New Jersey, Office of the Secretary of Higher Education, P.O. Box 542, Trenton, NJ 08625-0542, or visit www.state.nj.us/highereducation/OSHEComplaintInstructions.shtml
  2. GCU’s institutional accreditor, The Middle States Commission on Higher Education, 1007 North Orange St, 4th Floor, MB #166, Wilmington, DE 19801. Call 267-284-5011 or visit https://www.msche.org/
  3. For students taking GCU distance education courses in states other than New Jersey: Complaints about GCU are governed by the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA) policy, the full text of which can be found here: https://www.nc-sara.org/sara-student-complaints-0. The NC-SARA complaints webpage also provides links to the appropriate agencies and processes in each state. After first attempting to resolve a complaint through GCU’s internal processes, non-California students should file their complaints with the SARA State Portal Entity for New Jersey: Eric Taylor, Esq., Director, Office of Licensure, New Jersey Office of the Secretary of Higher Education, P.O. Box 542, Trenton, NJ 08625-0542, 609.984.3738, [email protected]. Because California is not a member of SARA, California students should contact the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education at https://www.bppe.ca.gov/enforcement/complaint.shtml or https://oag.ca.gov/contact/consumer-complaint-against-business-or-company. (Additional resource to be used only if the NC-SARA link does not work: Click here for a list of contacts for filing complaints for all states, maintained by SAN.)
