Procedures in Resolving Grievances

The purpose of these grievance procedures is to provide a fair and equitable procedure for review of grievances related to the quality of continuing education programs, the amount of credit awarded for a program, fees and tuition, refunds of fees and tuition, and any other issues directly related to continuing education programming.

Grievance Step #1:

Any participant in continuing education programs sponsored by University Learning Systems may discuss any grievances with any employee of University Learning Systems. To facilitate handling of the grievance, University Learning Systems requests it in writing. Grievances shall be filed in a timely manner, within 30 days after receipt of a home study program or within 15 days after receipt of credit or a certificate of attendance at a live program. After receipt and consideration of grievances, University Learning Systems shall act with due diligence to resolve the problem to the satisfaction of the participant.

Grievance Step # 2:

If University Learning Systems does not resolve the grievance to the participant's satisfaction, that participant may ask University Learning Systems to present the grievance to a Committee consisting of University Learning System’s customers who have agreed to provide grievance assistance to University Learning Systems. The participant's written grievance is sent by University Learning Systems to the committee members, and ask that each review the complaint, review the facts as presented and discuss the grievance with the complainant (if deemed necessary). University Learning Systems will also ask its grievance committee  to  independently issue a ruling on the grievance, and send their results to University Learning Systems for action. If more than one solution is proposed, then University Learning Systems will utilize the one most acceptable to the complainant.
