Grievances and Appeals Complaint Resolution

Savannah Technical College is committed to ensuring an environment for all members of the College Community including the general public that is fair, humane, and respectful; an environment that supports and rewards students and employees on the basis of relevant considerations, and an environment that is free from illegal or inappropriate conduct.

In an instance of perceived violation of College policies, standards of professional conduct or state or federal law, any member of the College Community may file a complaint, which shall be resolved as addressed in these policies and procedures. Individuals may follow an informal and/or formal process to reach resolution of the complaint. (At no time will the College policy contradict policy and procedure as determined by the Technical College System of Georgia [TCSG] as listed in the TCSG Policy and Procedures at www.tcsg.edu. If a contradiction is realized, the TCSG Policy will prevail).

Retaliation in any form against individuals bringing grievances is prohibited and will subject the offender to disciplinary action. An individual who initiates a fraudulent or bad faith claim or charge shall also be subject to disciplinary action.
