NC-SARA Student Complaint Information

NC-SARA Student Complaint Process

Yeshiva University (YU) is committed to providing every student with a positive educational experience. If a student has a complaint about that experience, each of YU’s colleges, schools, and administrative offices has a process for filing a complaint: YU Student NC-SARA Student Complaints. All students have the right to lodge a complaint or grievance. Yeshiva University will ensure that all concerns and complaints of its students are addressed fairly and resolved promptly.

SARA consumer protection provisions cover out-of-state distance education students in Yeshiva University’s distance courses or programs. These provisions require the institution’s home state, through its SARA State Portal Entity, to investigate and resolve allegations of dishonest or fraudulent activity by the state’s SARA-participating institutions, including the provision of false or misleading information. SARA policies do not cover complaints related to grades or student conduct violations. See NC-SARA’s overview of the complaint process: NC-SARA Student Complaints. Complaints may be filed by out-of-state students up to two years after the event.

Out-of-state student complaints relating to consumer protection laws offered under the terms and conditions of the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA), must first be filed with Yeshiva University to seek resolution: YU Student Complaint Process.

If the out-of-state student’s complaint cannot be resolved after filing a complaint with the University, the student may contact Yeshiva University’s home state SARA Portal Entity, the New York State Education Department (NYSED)’s Office of College and University Evaluation:
