Student Complaint Procedures

Fairleigh Dickinson University urges current and prospective students with concerns or complaints to attempt to resolve them with the appropriate University administrative or academic office. When the concern or complaint cannot be resolved internally, current and prospective students may seek redress through the University’s external accrediting and authorizing bodies.

Please be advised that Fairleigh Dickinson University participates in Federal student aid programs that are authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965.

• 34 CFR § 600.9 requires states to have a “process to review and appropriately act on complaints concerning the institution including enforcing applicable State laws.”
• 34 CFR § 668.43(b) requires that institutions “make available for review to any enrolled or prospective student upon request, a copy of the documents describing the institution’s accreditation and its State, Federal, or tribal approval or licensing. The institution must also provide its students or prospective students with contact information for filing complaints with its accreditor and with its State approval or licensing entity and any other relevant State official or agency that would appropriately handle a student’s complaint.”

In order to comply with these regulations, Fairleigh Dickinson University provides the following information to our prospective and current students:
