Elizabeth City State University

Military Affiliated Students

Complaint Process

 

A student who participates in the Military Tuition Assistance Program (TA) or is a Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts Scholarship recipient, at Elizabeth City State University may submit a complaint through the Department of Defense – Postsecondary Education Complaint System. This process is for students who find that ECSU failed to follow the Principles of Excellence.  The system was created to provide these military affiliated students the ability to report misleading or unfair actions by institutions.  Examples of the types of educational related complaints that may be reviewed by the Department of Defense include, quality of education, financial issues, recruiting and marketing practices, refund or collection issues, and others as you may review on the Department of Defense Military One Source website for the Postsecondary Education Complaint System.
 
Upon receipt of a student complaint, the Department of Defense representative will work with the student’s institution and provide the student with a response to the complaint.  The student will receive a response to the complaint. A military affiliated student who is receiving Veterans Affairs (VA) education benefits, may need to submit a complaint to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).  Those students receiving assistance through Montgomery or Post 9/11 GI Bill® may submit their complaint to the VA that will review the complaint and seek response to the student’s complaint by ECSU.  Elizabeth City State University will review and communicate with the student, with a response to the complaint.  The VA will communicate with the student to learn if Elizabeth City State University’s response is satisfactory, but they have indicated the communication will be for tracking purposes only.
 
GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA . More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government website at http://www.benefits.va.gov /gibill.
