Student Complaint Policy and Process

It is the policy of Sterling College to provide an effective and acceptable means for a student to bring problems or concerns to the attention of the institution for review and resolution. Institutional complaint procedures are recorded in the student handbook under Procedure for Addressing Complaints. 

If you plan on bringing a vehicle to campus, make sure to fill out the Vehicle Information section of online registration. Once we have this information, a parking permit will be issued ($50) to you. Place this sticker on your windshield on the lower passenger’s side corner right away to avoid getting a parking ticket. Replacement permits can be obtained from the Student Life office for a fee of $5.
