SCCM Grievance Procedures Policy

To provide due process in the evaluation and mediation of grievances concerning ACE activities, this Grievance Procedures Policy was developed. Grievances may concern, but are not limited to, the awarding of credit for individual participation and/or registration fees issues.  

  • A written complaint or grievance should be submitted to the Education Department. 

  • The Education Department will attempt to resolve the grievance of the complainant. 

  • If the initial response is unsatisfactory to the complainant, the matter will be referred to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)/Executive Vice President (EVP) for action. 

  • If the response from the CEO/EVP is unsatisfactory to the complainant, the matter will be referred to the SCCM Executive Committee. The ruling of the Executive Committee will be final.
