STUDENT GRIEVANCE POLICY – ALL STUDENTSIn the event of a dispute between an individual student and the College, internal procedures are in place to facilitate the resolution of the dispute. Full details are published on the website taylorscollege.edu.au.

A summary of the internal grievance procedures

1. Code of Conduct, Attendance and DisciplineStudents are expected to abide by the terms and conditions of enrolment and the published rules and code of conduct of the College. Disciplinary procedures will be applied in the event of a breach of these rules. All staff members are expected to apply the College’s policy and rules fairly and without favour, but if a student considers that this has not occurred, the student may refer the matter to the Campus Grievance Counsellor. If the student is dissatisfied with the Grievance Counsellor’s decision, he/she may lodge a formal appeal. The appeal will be considered by the case review panel, which includes the Principal. All decisions will be communicated in writing and will occur within specified time periods.

2. Service and Academic ProgramsIn the event of a student complaint concerning the quality of the service or teaching provided by the College, the student will report the matter to a person in a position of authority within the College. The complaint may either be dealt with by that person, or referred to the Grievance Counsellor where the Complaints and Appeals procedure will be followed.

3. Contractual and Financial IssuesMatters relating to the interpretation of the Contract, or the payment or refund of moneys, are stated clearly within this document. Any queries relating to course fees and other charges payable to the College (or refunds) will initially be dealt with by the College Finance and Administration staff. If the student is dissatisfied with the decision, the matter will be referred to the Campus Student Services Manager. If either the action taken or the outcome does not satisfy the student, he/she may write to the Finance Director, who will in turn convey a decision in writing to the student.

A SUMMARY OF THE EXTERNAL GRIEVANCE PROCEDURESIn the event of a dispute between an individual student and the College, procedures are in place to facilitate the resolution of the dispute. If the student remains dissatisfied with the outcome, they may seek an independent review through the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).A student may apply to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) for a review of a decision in relation to the FEE-HELP balance.He/she may have to pay an application fee; it depends on the circumstances. The application cannot proceed until the application fee has either been paid or waived. (The application fee is refunded when the review is completed if the AAT decides that it is finalised in the student’s favour.) Further information about the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, including the required application forms and current costs, can be obtained from their website at: aat.gov.au/AboutTheAAT/IntroductionToTheAAT.htm>
