Consumer Complaint Process

Consumer Complaint Process

As an accredited institution, 91³Ô¹Ï adheres to ethical standards and our stated policies in the delivery of our programs and services. Students are encouraged to become familiar with Excelsior's policies and procedures which can be found on our website and/or in specific School catalogs. These publications outline the means by which students may request permitted exemptions from these policies and the ways in which administrative and academic decisions may be appealed.

In the event that students believe they have been unfairly treated or have issues with Excelsior that cannot be resolved by the methods outlined in Excelsior's publications, including this Web site, they have the right to contact our accrediting agencies and/or various state and other governmental agencies.

Below is contact information for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S territories and should not be construed as a complete list of states/agencies regulating 91³Ô¹Ï. Through the relevant agencies or Attorneys General Offices, complaints can be accepted regardless of whether 91³Ô¹Ï is required to be registered in that jurisdiction. 91³Ô¹Ï has made a reasonable effort to ensure that this list is accurate.  However, if you have any questions or encounter problems contacting the appropriate agency, please contact Excelsior's paralegal at 518-608-8162 for assistance.
