Overview/Accreditation
The South Carolina Licensure information has been revised to
read:
Licensure is not an endorsement or guarantee of quality. If
students at the Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, and Myrtle
Beach Metropolitan Campuses have complaints about a
classroom situation, they should first attempt to resolve the
situation with the instructor. If resolution cannot be made with
the instructor, or if the complaint is about a general school
policy over which the instructor has no jurisdiction, then they
may contact the school director for mediation. If the complaint
cannot be resolved at the school level through its complaint
procedure, students may file a complaint with the South Carolina
Commission on Higher Education. The complaint form is available
at http://www.che.sc.gov/CHE_Docs/AcademicAffairs/License/
Complaint_procedures_and_form.pdf.
