Online Student Complaints and Appeals

As required by Federal regulations, Morris Brown College (MBC) provides students with contact information for filing complaints with the appropriate agency in the state where the student resides.

For grievances involving any aspect of your online educational experience, begin by following the MBC Student Grievance Procedures documented in the MBC Student Catalog. This process recommends that you first try to reach a resolution with your instructor or other party involved in the issue before taking the issue to the Department Chair, and, finally, the Provost’s Office.

If the MBC Student Grievance Procedures resolution is not satisfactory, a student may then appeal to the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS) OR the Georgia State Authorization Portal (GA-SARA).
