DISTANCE EDUCATION
Southeastern College is approved by FL-SARA and SC-SARA to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA) http://nc-sara.org/ NC-SARA is a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of postsecondary distance education.
In order to comply with regulations regarding distance education, Southeastern College is required to make the following disclosure to applicants and students completing their coursework outside of the states of Florida and South Carolina, including field experiences (e.g. internships, practicums, clinical placements), when their program of study customarily leads to professional licensure.
NC-SARA has no effect on state professional licensure requirements. It is advised that applicants seek guidance from the appropriate licensing agency in your home state before beginning any academic program leading to licensure or certification. If you are unable to locate information about professional licensure, or have difficulty obtaining the information you need, please contact the academic advisor for your program.
If Southeastern College has made a determination that the program’s curriculum does not meet the State educational requirements for licensure or certification in the State in which a prospective student is located, or if the institution has not made a determination regarding whether the program’s curriculum meets the State educational requirements for licensure or certification, Southeastern College will provide notice to that effect to the student prior to the student’s enrollment in the program.
If Southeastern College makes a determination that a program’s curriculum does not meet the State educational requirements for licensure or certification in a State in which a student who is currently enrolled in such program is located, the institution will provide notice to that effect to the student in writing, which may include through email or other electronic communication within 14 calendar days of making such determination.
DISTANCE EDUCATION COMPLAINT PROCESS
Southeastern College Grievance Procedure as stated in the Southeastern College Catalog https://www.sec.edu/academic-programs/catalogs/.
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
If Southeastern College is forced to take action against a student, it still believes strongly that every student has a right to procedural due process in which a student has notice and an opportunity to be heard. If the administration has to take disciplinary measures against a student or other action related to a student, the student may appeal the decision to the Grievance Committee.
Students are encouraged to resolve problems through normal administrative channels. A Request for a Grievance Committee Hearing form must be submitted to the Student Services Department by or on Thursday no later than 5 p.m. in order to hold a grievance hearing on the following Tuesday. The Grievance hearings are held on a Tuesday immediately after day classes have concluded. Requests for a Grievance Committee hearing that are received immediately prior to or during a student break are recognized as received the week following the break.
The voting members of the Grievance Committee consist of two (2) faculty members, two (2) staff members, and one (1) student. The voting members of the committee are non-biased participants. The Director of Student Services is the facilitator/moderator of the grievance hearing and a non-voting member of the proceedings. The Panel will hear evidence, ask questions, review the catalog/handbook policies, deliberate and render an advisory ruling that, upon approval by the Office of the Executive Director, will become binding upon the administration as well as the student who filed the grievance.
Grievances not resolved on the institutional level, for the Columbia, SC and North Charleston, SC campuses may be forwarded to the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education, Nonpublic Postsecondary Institutional Licensing, 1122 Lady Street, Suite 300, Columbia, SC 29201, (803) 737-2260. Students may file a complaint with the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education by completing a complaint form available at the following link: http://www.che.sc.gov/CHE_Docs/AcademicAffairs/License/Complaint_procedures_and_form.pdf.
