California State University Student Internal Complaint Process & Contact Information
Pursuant to the United States Department of Education's Program Integrity Rule, each institution of higher education is required to provide all prospective and current students with the contact information for the state agency or agencies that handle complaints against postsecondary education institutions offering distance learning within that state. Students are encouraged to utilize California State University's internal complaint or review policies and procedures prior to filing a complaint with a state agency. Click here for a copy of the CSU internal complaints process. Should a student wish to file a complaint in his or her home state, the student needs to select the state contact from the "Consumer Protection State Contacts" list to file a complaint directly in that state.
