COMPLAINT PROCESS

Lakeland Community College values feedback and questions from our students and other stakeholders regarding our programs, services, and processes. To that end, the college has enacted policies and procedures for the intake and review of complaints. Some of these policies are specific, for example, Title IX complaints are addressed in college policies 3354:2-20-02 and 3354:2-20-74 and related procedure HR20-74A. Other policies, such as the Student Complaint Policy 3354:2-61-11 are broader in nature and can be adapted to complaints not otherwise addressed through an existing policy or procedure. The entirety of Lakeland Community College's policies can be accessed here.

Please use the forms below to file a complaint, ask a question, or give a compliment. These forms are used to address and resolve issues and inform Lakeland's continuous quality improvement efforts.

A complaint is a concern or dissatisfaction with a person, service, or process that may require clarification, investigation, and resolution. All complaints received by Lakeland Community College employees should be documented. 

A complaint is considered informal when it is expressed verbally (in-person or phone) or by email.  If the informal complaint process has been completed but not resolved to satisfaction, then the complainant may choose to file a formal complaint.
