In the event of a student complaint, the student should first begin with the faculty or staff member involved.

If the concern cannot be resolved, or is of such a nature the student is not comfortable discussing it with the party involved, the proper channel would be to go to the individual's supervisor. If the concern cannot be resolved with the supervisor, then, as a next step the proper channel would be to go to the Executive Committee member who oversees that area of responsibility. If unsure of the correct person, refer to the Administrative Roster located in the Student Handbook.

If the student feels his/her complaint has still not been adequately addressed they may go to the Dean of Student Affairs or the President of The Art Institute of Houston. At this step, the student should submit their complaint, and any supporting documentation, in writing and request an appointment where they may follow up on their specific issue.
