  • Request an amendment to the records;

Institutional Complaint Process for Out-of-State Students Enrolled in Distance Education

In compliance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 and NC-SARA requirements, South Georgia State College provides distance education students with clear procedures and contact information for filing complaints. The College aims to resolve student grievances, complaints, and concerns in a timely and fair manner through its internal processes; students should first use the College's academic and non-academic complaint pathways before pursuing external options.

Step 1: Seek Resolution Within the College

Distance education students must first pursue resolution through South Georgia State College's internal complaint pathways. Academic complaints should begin with the course instructor or department chair. If unresolved, they should be escalated to Academic Affairs. Non-academic complaints should begin with the appropriate office. Internal resolution must be attempted before moving to external complaint options.

Step 2: External Resolution (NC-SARA)

As a member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA), the College follows NC-SARA's student complaint resolution procedures for distance education students. If a complaint remains unresolved after completion of the College's internal process, students may contact the Georgia NC-SARA State Portal Agency, the Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission (GNPEC). Students should review the GA-SARA Student Complaint Rules and submit a GA-SARA Online Student Complaint Form. GNPEC may also be contacted by phone at 770-414-3300 or by email at info@gnpec.ga.gov.

Step 3: State-Specific Exceptions

Because California is not an NC-SARA member, California residents with distance education complaints about the College should file with the California Department of Consumer Affairs.

Important Regulatory Update (Effective January 1, 2026)

Beginning January 1, 2026, institutions operating under SARA policies must provide both their own and SARA's complaint resolution policies and procedures to all students taking courses under SARA policies on the institution's website and in the institution's catalog or equivalent information provided in print or electronically at the time of enrollment.

Professional Licensure Complaints

NC-SARA does not govern professional licensure reciprocity requirements. Students enrolled in programs that may lead to professional licensure should consult the appropriate licensing board in the state where they intend to practice for information about authorization, licensure eligibility, and complaint procedures.

If the alleged victim of such crime or offense is deceased as a result of the crime or offense, the institution will provide the results of the disciplinary proceeding to the victim's next of kin, if so requested.

Students may be eligible for bookstore credit 4-5 business days before the semester begins if they have pre-registered and have financial aid in excess of tuition and fees. This credit expires at the close of business the day after drop/add. Students must authorize bookstore credit through their student account.

For detailed information regarding disbursement schedules, direct deposit setup, and refund policies, please visit:

Students who withdraw from the institution may be eligible for refunds based on a pro rata percentage determined by the number of calendar days completed in the semester.

Title IV Disbursement for Books and Supplies Policy

Students who meet specific criteria, including having sufficient financial aid to cover all charges, may be eligible to obtain books and supplies from the campus bookstore on a deferred payment basis using a bookstore credit that is made available at least seven days before classes begin.
