RMCAD is committed to providing the best possible educational environment for its students. We encourage an open and inclusive atmosphere in which any conflict, complaint, suggestion, or question receives a timely response from RMCAD staff and/or faculty. Student feedback is encouraged in a variety of ways including RMCAD Resolve, Student Forums, Course Evaluations, and the Annual Student Satisfaction Survey.
RMCAD strives to ensure fair, honest, and equal treatment of its community members. RMCAD Resolve empowers students to access resources and report concerns in the following areas:
For students who have been unable to satisfactorily resolve their concerns with a faculty or staff member.
For any community member who has been the target of or a witness to a bias incident.
