SRR Services

The Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities oversees a wide range of services that can be roughly divided into three main categories.

Conduct & Appeals

The Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities is also responsible for upholding policy regarding conduct as well as processing various appeals.

• Attendance: At Alexander College, each instructor sets expectations for attendance and the consequences for not meeting attendance requirements. In exceptional circumstances, you can appeal to make an exception.
• Complaints: If you notice something that can be improved on at Alexander College or if an aspect of the school has not met your expectations, you can submit a complaint so we can improve.
• Grade Appeals: If you feel that your grade is assigned in error and all reasonable steps were made in trying to resolve this dispute before resorting to formal means, you can request a Grade Appeal.
  • Exam Viewing: You can request to view an exam you have written, whether its for personal reasons or if you wish to appeal a final grade.
• Misconduct: The Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities is responsible for addressing behavioural misconduct which can be in many forms.
