Texas Lutheran University desires to resolve student grievances, complaints and concerns in an expeditious, fair and amicable manner. Students who desire to resolve a grievance should follow the University’s Grievance Procedure as found on page 16 of the TLU Student Handbook. However, if an issue cannot be resolved internally, prospective and currant students may file a complaint with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and/or with TLU’s accrediting agency, The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
