Student Grievance
LC State is committed to supporting students in and outside the classroom. Grievance policies and procedures exist to ensure students have avenues to voice concerns and address both academic and non-academic matters. In addition to opportunities to appeal college related decisions, tools for submitting a concern or grievance are presented below.
If a student believes he or she has received an incorrect or unfair grade, that student should contact the appropriate instructor, per timelines established in Policy 5.310 found on the policies webpage to attempt to resolve the disagreement. If the student and faculty member resolve that disagreement to their mutual satisfaction, no further proceedings are necessary. If the student and faculty member are unable to resolve the disagreement to their mutual satisfaction the full appeal process can be found at:

In the case of extenuating circumstances (such as injury, illness, or death of an immediate family member), you may appeal your suspension to the Financial Aid Office. The appeal form must be submitted with documentation detailing the circumstances that prevented you from making satisfactory academic progress, and shows how the issues have been resolved.
Appeal forms may be picked up from the Financial Aid Office, or obtained online at:
