1. Instructor.
2. Department Chair/Program Director.
3. Dean.
4. Vice President of Academic Affairs.
5. College President.
GENERAL COMPLAINTS
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to secure at the first possible level prompt and equitable resolution of student complaints, including those alleging discrimination on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, national origin, age, or disability.
Representation
The student may be represented at any level of the complaint.
Discrimination Complaints
Any student who believes that he or she has been discriminated against on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability by the institution or its personnel may informally discuss the complaint with the Associate Vice President of Student Affairs with the objective of reaching a reasonable solution. The Associate Vice President of Student Affairs shall advise the student of his or her options in the situation and notify the Director of Administrative Services/Human Resources of the College.
If the aggrieved student believes the complaint has not been resolved at the informal discussion, he or she may submit a written complaint stating his or her name, the nature and date of the alleged violation, names of persons responsible (where known), names of any witnesses, and requested action within 30 working days of the date of the informal discussion, to the Vice President of Student Affairs. The Associate Vice President of Student Affairs shall ensure that the aggrieved student’s rights to appropriate due process procedures are honored. If a hearing is held, the Vice President of Student Affairs and the Associate Vice President of Student Affairs shall conduct the hearing. The Vice President of Student Affairs and the Associate Vice President of Student Affairs will consult with the College legal counsel and render a decision in writing on the complaint within ten working days. If this decision is not to the student’s satisfaction, he or she may appeal the decision to the Vice President of Student Affairs within ten working days of the receipt of the written decision according to procedures at Level Two below.
FORMAL STUDENT COMPLAINTS
Level One
A student who has a complaint may either request a conference with the Associate Vice President of Student Affairs or submit the complaint in writing. Written complaints may be initiated at the following location: http://www.actx.edu/admission/complaint.
Level Two
If the outcome of the conference with the Associate Vice President of Student Affairs is not to the student’s satisfaction, the student has 15 calendar days to request a conference with the academic division chair or Vice President of Student Affairs, as appropriate, or designee(s), who shall schedule and hold a conference. Prior to or at the conference, the student shall submit a written complaint that includes a statement of the complaint and any evidence or witnesses in its support, the solution sought, the student’s signature, and the date of the conference with the division chair or Associate Vice President of Student Affairs.

Prior to or at the conference, the student shall submit the written statements required at Level Two and the date of the conference with the Vice President of Student Affairs.
Remote testing rules:
1. You are required to do an environment check by moving your camera all around your testing area.
2. No smart technology allowed in the same room, other than the computer on which you are testing. (no tablets, smart watches, etc).
3. You may not leave the room for any reason during the exam.
4. If you are booted off the exam, you may retrieve your phone because you must take a screen shot of what it shows when it boots you off and send it to the instructor immediately.
5. If you are booted off, you must immediately attempt to log back in to the exam.
6. No two students (or more) may test in the same room at the same time. Each student should be alone while testing.
Failure to comply with any of the above rules will result in a 10 point reduction in the test grade for EACH infraction. For example, if you get booted off and wait 30 minutes to log back in (which the instructor can monitor) and you don't take a screen shot and send it to the instructor, that will result in a 20 point reduction of your test grade. If you are sick and think you may need to leave to go to the restroom, do NOT begin the exam. Contact the instructor to work out a different time to take the exam.
Cheating: Cheating on any assignments, quizzes, or exams will not be tolerated. Having a smart device on your person during an exam is considered cheating. This course has a zero tolerance policy for cheating. If you are suspected of cheating you will automatically be given an F for your final course grade. The instructor also has the option to remove you from the program without the possibility to re-enroll at a later date (per the Student Handbook, "Course Ethics" section).
