Problem Resolution Process
Problem Resolution Process
It is important to me that I treat every student equally, when it comes to earning a grade in my class, however I realize that sometimes a student might feel like they have been singled out or treated unfairly. How might you resolve an issue that comes up, if you think that you've been treated unfairly?
I hope that the first step would be to reach out to me directly to discuss the issue and see if we can come to an understanding and resolution that we both can live with.
If you are unhappy with a resolution or if you are not comfortable approaching me yourself, you have a right to report that concern/complaint directly to the Dean of Behavioral and Social Sciences: Kathy Sorensen (916) 484-8428 or sorensk@arc.losrios.edu
I do my best to treat all students equitably but want to be sure that you know how to resolve a concern or conflict if one does arise. If you feel like you still need more information about ARC’s Student Code of Conduct problem resolution, please contact the ARC Office of Student Conduct at (916) 484-8465.
Special Accommodations
Special Accommodations
If you have a disability, you may qualify for a special accommodation to facilitate your success, such as extended time on quizzes, special note taking paper, or audio recording devices.
