There may at times be problems affecting students’ academic success, progress toward the degree or diploma, or relationships within the program. As such situations arise, students are advised to attempt to address the issues with their Academic Advisor or Academic Department Chair. If these avenues do not appear to offer satisfactory solutions, The Art Institute of Colorado has a Student Appeals Committee that meets weekly to review and deliberate academic and non-academic issues affecting the standing of enrolled students.

The Committee is responsible for reviewing all materials presented by the student and The Art Institute of Colorado, and it renders a final decision in each appeal. The Committee seeks fair and equitable outcomes in the best interests of individual students. The Appeals Committee comprises the Dean of Student Affairs (Conduct Officer), the Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs, Student Accounting Supervisor, Student Financial Service Officer, Registrar, the Appeals Committee Chair and other officials deemed appropriate by the Appeals Committee.
