COMPLAINT NOTICE

San Diego Christian College takes complaints and concerns regarding the institution very seriously.

There is an established grievance process for students that may be found in program handbooks and the college catalog. Various program polices may also define steps one may take to file a grievance or appeal regarding decisions made by college officials. If you have a complaint that is not addressed by one of the grievance processes identified, or if you have a question regarding the proper process for addressing you concern, you may contact:
