Where possible, SAE expects all students to attempt an informal resolution between the involved parties before progressing to a formal complaint. Stages of the Grievance, Complaints and Appeals Process

There are four stages in the processes associated with the resolution of a grievance, complaint or appeal with each stage representing an increase in the level of formality with which the grievance, complaint or appeal is managed. Please refer to SAE's Student Grievance, Complaints and Appeals Policy (https://sae.edu.au/assets/0AT/Policy/SO_1_A_POL_StudentGrievance_171011.pdf) and Procedure (https://sae.edu.au/assets/0AT/Policy/SO_1_A_PRO_StudentGrievance_170922.pdf) and your rights. If you need assistance with this process, please contact the Student Services Adviser on your campus.
