If the issue remains unresolved or relates to broader institutional concerns (such as program quality, student services, or institutional integrity), you may file a formal complaint with ACCWE.

Common types of complaints we review:

  • Misrepresentation of programs or outcomes

  • Unfair institutional policies or practices
