Grievance Policy
Ocean County College provides both informal and formal processes to attempt to resolve disputes. A formal complaint is a request for the resolution of a problem, conflict, concern, or issue that negatively impacts a student(s). Students should refer to the Policy and Procedure for Formal Student Complaints (#5230) for more information.

ADA/504 Grievance Procedure
It is the policy of Ocean County College (the College) not to discriminate on the basis of disability. The College has adopted an internal grievance procedure providing for prompt and equitable resolution of complaints alleging any action prohibited by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and/or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794). Ocean County College also strongly encourages individuals to attempt to resolve issues informally, though the informal process need not be pursued prior to filing a formal grievance.
