Grievances, Complaints and Appeals

ACAP has developed grievances and appeals policy and procedures to reassure intending and current students, graduates, staff and clients of the College that

• any grievances, complaints and disputes will be taken seriously and handled professionally and in accordance with the College’s Principles of Procedural Fairness in order to achieve a speedy resolution;
• there is a clear and transparent step by step procedure for the resolution of grievances and appeals; and
• the contact details of internal areas and external organisations who may assist in the event of a grievance or an appeal are readily available.

 

At ACAP grievances and appeals can fall into several categories and different policy and procedures apply to these categories, as follows:

• Assessment Appeals concerning an appeal against a grade awarded for a VET unit of competency or higher education unit assessment item or final module or unit result.
  Refer to the information on assessment appeals.
• Academic Grievances and Appeals concerning an academic decision, action or process of the College.
  Refer to Grievances, Complaints and Appeals  Policy and Procedure. 
• Non-Academic Grievances and Appeals concerning a non-academic decision, action or process of the College.
  Refer to Grievances, Complaints and Appeals  Policy and Procedure. 
• A complaint or an appeal concerning a refund or reimbursement of module or unit tuition fees.  
  If the matter relates to a refund of an upfront payment made direct to the College refer to the Refund Policy
  If the matter relates to a reimbursement of FEE-HELP Assistance refer to the Fee-Help Review and Appeals Procedures.

ACAP’s intending and current students, graduates, staff and clients of the College can lodge their grievance and complaints through our online portal here.
