Who do I talk to if I think i am being discriminated against?
If you feel that you are being discriminated against, for any reason, and you cannot resolve your concerns immediately through self-advocacy in your training environment, you are encouraged to see a member of the College Advising Team in Student Services. You can ask to see the first advisor available to review your concerns and talk about what to do. If your informal efforts to resolve your concerns are not working out, you can talk to your Advisor about the Student Grievance Policy. You may prefer to talk to a Director of Programs (in the Training Division) or the Director of Student Services about your concerns. Students may also wish to contact the Office of Civil Rights if they cannot resolve their concerns on campus.
