NC-SARA Complaint Process for Distance Education Students
The following information applies only to students enrolled in distance education courses offered by Kuyper College under the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA).

If a complaint cannot be resolved through the College’s complaint process, students enrolled in distance education courses covered by NC-SARA may file a complaint through the NC-SARA State Portal Entity, provided the complaint meets NC-SARA requirements.
