Effective communication is vital to the mission of St. Joseph’s Seminary, as well as to the academic success of our students. The purpose of the grievance procedure is to secure an equitable solution to disputes that students might have regarding, for example, Seminary policies, a professor’s grading, or classroom procedures. This procedure makes certain that the Seminary will offer whatever assistance it can regarding grievances and ensures the accessibility of the Faculty, Associate Deans, and Academic Dean to all students.
The SJS Grievance Procedure
NC-SARA
St. Joseph’s Seminary and College (“SJS”) is a member of NC-SARA (The National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity). If the SJS grievance process is fully exhausted and a resolution not found, SARA students may pursue the SARA Student Complaint Process, by appealing to the SARA State Portal Entity. The current NY State Portal Entity is listed below, and can also be found by searching the NC SARA State Portal Entity Contacts webpage.
