Out-of-State Online Student Complaints

Online students residing outside of Illinois should resolve any complaints with Lincoln Land Community College by following the college's established student complaint process as explained in the college’s Students Rights and Responsibilities.

LLCC seeks to address student complaints in a thorough and timely manner. LLCC empowers students to advocate for themselves by first talking with the person against whom they want to file a complaint. If the direct conversation does not remedy the complaint, please submit information about the situation through LLCC’s Online Complaint Form.

LLCC works diligently to find positive outcomes to student concerns. However, if an issue cannot be resolved internally, out-of-state online students can file a complaint with the state in which they reside. In compliance with the Federal Department of Education regulations, view Student Complaint Information by State. Students from states that participate in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) may also contact the Illinois Community College Board when seeking a resolution.
