A grievance is a claim or charge of injustice, oppression or discrimination based upon an event or condition which affects the welfare or condition of an individual student or group of students. The academic divisions and student service departments on campus each have their own procedures for hearing student grievances and appeals. When students feel they have been subjected to unjust action or denied their rights by a member of the College community, the student should, with the exception of Title IX complaints/claims, first attempt resolution with those involved with the problem. If no resolution is found, the student should contact one of the following departments, depending on the nature of the problem:

Students in other states with complaints about online courses may file a complaint with the Utah Board of Higher Education (see UT SARA Complaint Process) – after working through the Snow College complaint process. The Board of Higher Education will only consider complaints that were previously unresolved by the institution and may refer a complaint to another agency for investigation.
In addition, students involved with distance and correspondence education can file a complaint with their state’s enforcement authority. A list can be found at the NC-SARA directory.
Students who have complaints relating to the school’s quality of education or other issues appropriate for its accrediting body to consider, can file a complaint with the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities at www.nwccu.org.
Copies of documents describing the school’s accreditation and state approval are available for review upon request in the Academic Affairs Office.
At Snow College, programs in the licensed professions are designed to fulfill educational pre-requisites for licensure in the State of Utah. As a graduate of Snow College, a person would then have the minimum educational qualifications to apply for Utah licensure in the chosen field or vocation. This may not be the case for all states and territories in the United States. Educational requirements vary state to state. To assist students who currently or may someday live out of the state of Utah, Snow College is committed to updating a resource that explains whether each Snow College professional program meets the licensure in that state or territory.
Currently all licensure programs at Snow College meet the requirements in the State of Utah. We have not yet determined licensure in other states but are in the process of determining these requirements. For more information about licensure for your state, please call Justin Thorpe at 435-283-7340 or email at ude.wons@eproht.nitsuj.
