Policy Requirements:

• The policy must be written and identified as a complaint or grievance policy
• Students must be informed of the policy at the beginning of the course or program
• The steps should be cleared noted down in the policy for the students to follow
• Forms must be made available for the students
• The forms must be retained and looked into, and also kept for NCIS to review later
