How can I file a consumer complaint concerning a particular private/independent institution?
Students should initially address individual concerns with the institution in question. The appropriate state level entity to address student concerns regarding private institutions is the Commission for Independent Education. The CIE office phone is: 850-245-3200 or toll free 888-224-6684. If the complaint involves a violation of civil rights, students may also contact the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.
