Texas Lutheran University

The student may file a formal complaint with the Dean of Students describing the treatment, action or decision at issue and the remedy sought. A student may file a complaint in person with the Dean of Students or by filling out the Complaint Form located under the General Complaint Reporting Process located on this page to the left. 

All student complaints must first be addressed internally.  If the internal resources have been exhausted and the complaint is not satisfactorily resolved, the student may file a complaint with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and/or with TLU’s accrediting agency, The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
