Pennsylvania NC-SARA Information

Albright College is committed to providing students with a clear and fair process for addressing concerns related to distance education programs and courses. Students are encouraged to resolve concerns first through the appropriate Albright College office, department, faculty member, advisor, or support area connected to the issue. Many questions or concerns can be resolved through direct communication before moving to a formal complaint process.

If a concern cannot be resolved informally, students may submit a formal complaint through Albright College’s established student complaint or grievance process. The College will review the complaint and provide a response in accordance with applicable institutional policies and procedures. Students should submit concerns as soon as possible after the issue occurs so that the College can review the matter promptly and thoroughly.

Students who have completed Albright College’s internal complaint process and believe their concern remains unresolved may contact the Pennsylvania Department of Education. As a SARA-participating institution located in Pennsylvania, Albright College follows the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement student complaint process. Students from any state may file a SARA-related complaint with the Pennsylvania Department of Education after exhausting the College’s internal complaint procedures.

SARA complaints generally relate to issues such as distance education authorization, misrepresentation, consumer protection, or other matters connected to the delivery of online education. SARA does not typically review complaints related to individual grade disputes, student conduct matters, or issues that are handled through other institutional policies.
