Non-Discrimination Student Appeals and Grievances Policy

Student Complaint Process
In compliance with state regulations and by rules promulgated by the U.S. Department of Education, The University of North Carolina is committed to a student complaint process that is fair, timely, and effective. This policy establishes a process by which students can initiate complaints against a post-secondary institution offering programs in the state of North Carolina when all other forums at the institutional level have been exhausted. The University of North Carolina System Office, acting as the clearinghouse for complaints concerning post-secondary institutions that have been duly authorized to operate within the State of North Carolina, will act upon those complaints within its purview and forward those that are not to the appropriate agency.
If you have any questions about the complaint process, please contact our Vice President of Student Services, Jamie Gibbs, at jgibbs@pamlicocc.edu or 252-249-1851, x 3021.
