Student Grievance and Due Process The student is encouraged to pursue academic studies and other university sponsored activities that will promote intellectual growth and personal development. In pursuing these ends, the student should be free of unfair and improper action by any member of the academic community. A grievance may be initiated when a student believes there has been an unjust action or 19 denial of rights as stipulated in university policies and in the state education code. Such action may be instituted by the student against: another student, a faculty member, an administrator, or other school staff. Students may initiate a grievance for any of the following reasons: 1. Prejudicial or capricious action in the evaluation of the student's academic performance. 2. Intimidation, assault, battery, or harassment (including sexual harassment). 3. Arbitrary action or imposition of sanctions by a university representative without proper regard to procedural due process as specified in conservatory guidelines for due process. When a student believes an injustice has occurred, he or she may seek redress through established policies and procedures. NCCM encourages students, faculty, and staff members to informally resolve differences. If an issue cannot be resolved informally, a formal grievance may be filed. Complaints under this policy may be brought for alleged discrimination based on, but not limited to, race, creed, color, national origin, gender, marital or parental status, physical or mental disability, Vietnam-era veteran status, or age. It is also appropriate to use this policy to file complaints about grades, academic procedures, student behavior, and other campus concerns except sexual harassment. Individuals having complaints related to charges of sexual harassment must use a different grievance procedure. Specific information on the procedure to be followed in this kind of grievance may be obtained from the Office of the Dean of Administrative Services. The formal procedure for grievances between students and other students, students and faculty/staff members, faculty/staff members and a student, and grievances of an academic (student-to-faculty) nature is available in the Office of the Dean of Instruction. Procedural due process is the method established to resolve faculty, staff, and student conduct issues in a clear, fair and orderly manner. These procedures apply to actions which interfere with or exert a harmful affect upon the functions of the Conservatory. Due process is intended to achieve an equitable solution that will resolve the issue with due regard for the rights of the accused, the protection of the student body, and the interest of the Conservatory. Any action taken by a student under a due process procedure shall preclude any further action. Loans If a student obtains a loan to pay for an educational program, the student will have the responsibility of repay the full amount of the loan plus interest, less the amount of any refund, and that, if the student has received federal student financial aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of the moneys not paid from federal student financial aid program funds. Financial Aid Currently this school does not participate in federal and state financial aid programs.
