The District provides a prompt and equitable means of resolving student grievances and complaints. A grievance is an alleged wrongful act by a Barstow Community College staff or faculty member that has an adverse effect on a student’s academic or personal status rights or privileges as a student at Barstow Community College. Students are protected against capricious, arbitrary, unreasonable, unlawful, false, malicious, or professionally inappropriate evaluations or behavior by a faculty member, a staff member, an administrator or an official of the College, or another student. Student complaints may be classified as grievances and fall into one of two categories: Academic or Non-Academic. Issues that are not resolved at the campus level may be presented to the State Chancellor’s Office using their complaint process. Students are encouraged to follow the Barstow Community College Grievance process before attempting to file a complaint with the State Chancellor’s Office.
