New York State Education: Filing a Complaint About a College or University

For all types of complaints concerning colleges and universities in New York State, the first course of action must be to try to resolve the complaint directly with the administration of the college or university involved. If you are still unable to get a resolution or you are having trouble with your course and/or distance learning experience, please contact the Distance Learning Helpdesk at distancelearning@farmingdale.edu. Our team of instructional designers will be able to help you get in touch with College contacts who can help you. 

The NYSED Filing a Complaint About a College or University site  External linkwill provide information on where and how to file a complaint. Please do not send a complaint to the Office of College and University Evaluation until you have read all of the information. This will assure that you are sending your complaint to the appropriate agency/office.
