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.
