Student Complaint Process

AIMS Education strongly encourages students to attempt to resolve any complaints directly with the appropriate person, persons, or administrative offices. If, after all reasonable efforts, the complaint cannot be resolved, the student may submit a formal complaint. The student affairs department is responsible for overseeing the student complaint process. 

To file an official complaint, the student must submit a student complaint form to the student affairs department at studentaffairs@aimseducation.edu, or in person to an academics and student affairs administrator. Complaint forms can be requested from the student affairs department, or they can be downloaded from the AIMS Education website.

Once a formal complaint is submitted, the student affairs committee will have 10-14 business days to investigate the complaint and render a decision. The complainant will be informed when a decision has been rendered.

All appeals related to grades or other academic issues must be submitted to the academic department.

Filing External Complaints

When a student complaint cannot be resolved by the institution, the student may choose to file a complaint with the institution’s accreditor, state licensing entity, or SARA state portal entity.
