Student complaints

How to file a complaint with CEA

ASC English encourages students to first attempt to resolve any concerns or complaints directly with the school through internal procedures. However, if a concern cannot be resolved internally, students have the right to submit a formal complaint to CEA.

CEA will review complaints that are written, signed, and related to an institution's compliance with CEA Standards.
