Welcome to Blinn College
Blinn Resolution Information
The Blinn College District is committed to providing an educational climate that is conducive to the personal and professional development of each individual. In order to ensure that commitment, the College has developed procedures for students to pursue grievances within the college community, should such action become necessary. A student who has an unresolved disagreement or dissatisfaction with a faculty or staff member, another student, student group or administrator has the right to file a written complaint without prejudicing his or her status with the College. It is Blinn's goal to assist all students in finding fair and just solutions to their concerns.
Students should refer to Blinn policy for specific types of complaints/appeals:
- Bullying and Dating Violence: FFE
- Discrimination, Harassment
and Retaliation: FFDB - Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeals
- Grade Appeals: FLDB
- Student Conduct: FLB and FMA
- Student Housing: FG
Complaints about areas not addressed in formal policy should follow the general Student Complaint Policy (FLD). Before filing a written complaint under this Policy, the student must first have attempted to resolve the issue by discussing the concern with the person(s) involved (if possible) and the appropriate dean or supervisor.
