Complaint Policy

To file a complaint against a New Hampshire institution (public or private) with the NH Department of Education, Division of Educator Support and Higher Education – Higher Education Commission, you must exhaust all avenues with the institution for resolution (including the Chancellor’s Office for the University System of New Hampshire or for the Community College System of New Hampshire). If you have done so, then please complete the Complaint Form below and submit to this office. Once received, personnel at the Division of Educator Support and Higher Education will review the information provided and where appropriate, initiate an investigation. On all matters, this Division will either investigate the complaint or send it directly to another agency that is authorized to address the concern(s). If academic or personal records from the institution are required to investigate the complaint, you will be required to submit authorization permitting the institution to release records to us.
