Complaints to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board

Students have the right to submit complaints to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (the Agency).

The student complaint form is available on the Agency's website https://reportcenter.highered.texas.gov/agency-publication/blank-forms-templates/student-complaints-form/ (accessed 11/21/2021). All complaints must be submitted to the Agency on the student complaint form. Complainants shall submit student complaint forms through the online process provided on the agency's website https://www.highered.texas.gov/links/student-complaints/ (accessed 11/21/2021), by electronic mail (email) to StudentComplaints@thecb.state.tx.us, or by hard copy sent to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Office of General Counsel, P.O. Box 12788, Austin, Texas 78711-2788.

Once the Agency receives a student complaint form, the Agency may refer the complaint to another agency or entity.

If a student complaint form concerns compliance with the statutes and regulations that the Agency administers and the Agency has not referred the complaint to another entity, the Agency will initiate an investigation.

During the investigation of a student complaint, Agency staff shall, in appropriate cases, attempt to facilitate an informal resolution to the complaint that is mutually satisfactory to the complainant and institution.

In cases in which an informal resolution between the complainant and institution is not feasible, Agency staff shall evaluate the results of the investigation of the student complaint and recommend a course of action to the Commissioner.

After receiving the Agency staff's recommendation, the Commissioner shall consider the recommendation regarding the complaint and render a written determination thereon.
