Student Complaint Form:

A Student Complaint Form is a formal document that allows students to submit grievances or concerns about various issues they experience during their time at an educational institution. This form is typically used to report complaints related to:

  • Administrative services (e.g., enrollment, financial aid, or advising)
  • Discrimination, harassment, or unfair treatment
  • Conduct of faculty, staff, or other students

The form usually requires students to provide details about the issue, including:

  • The nature of the complaint
  • The individuals or departments involved
  • Relevant dates and supporting evidence
  • Steps the student has already taken to resolve the issue (if any)

Completed forms should be submitted to the Director of Student Affairs, Marquise Isaac-Rivers. If he is not available, forms can be submitted to the Vice President of Student Engagement, Kamira Evans

Accommodation Request

A Student Accommodation Request is a formal application submitted by a student to PIT when the student is seeking adjustments or modifications to their learning environment or academic requirements due to a disability, medical condition, or other special needs. While the College is not required to honor and IEP or 504 Plan that a student had in their K-12 learning environment, the College will make an effort to make reasonable accommodations whenever permitted by program requirements These accommodations are intended to ensure that the student has equal access to education and campus resources.

Common reasons for submitting an accommodation request include:

  • Learning disabilities (e.g., ADHD, dyslexia)
  • Mental health conditions (e.g., anxiety, depression)
  • Chronic illnesses or medical conditions

Examples of accommodations might include:

  • Extended time on exams (double time or time and a half)
  • Use of laptops for tests and exams requiring lengthy essays
  • Use of calculators for math-related tests and exams
  • Permission to record lectures
  • Reduced course load as appropriate to the program — could affect financial aid
  • Early access to course registration
  • Faculty-provided copies of lecture notes  
  • Use of e-books or audiobooks
  • Access to voice recognition software (Office 365)
  • Access to text-to-speech programs (Canvas Immersive Reader)

Typically, the process involves providing documentation from a healthcare provider or specialist to verify the condition, followed by a review by the institution’s disability services office or relevant department to determine appropriate accommodations. If you would like to discuss accommodations, please contact the Director of Student Affairs, Marquise.IsaacRivers@pit.edu

Official Withdraw from College Request

An Official Withdrawal from College Request Form is a formal document that students use to notify P.I.T. that they intend to discontinue their enrollment and leave the institution. This form is typically required when a student decides to permanently or temporarily withdraw from their academic program

Once submitted, the form is reviewed and processed by the college’s administration. Students may need to complete an exit interview or additional steps to finalize their withdrawal.

Withdrawal may impact financial aid, scholarships, and future readmission, so it’s important for students to understand the full implications before submitting the form. Please see your Academic Success Coach for additional support.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Policy

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that affords parents the right to have access to their children’s education records, the right to seek to have the records amended, and the right to have some control over the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the education records. When a student turns 18 years old, or enters a postsecondary institution at any age, the rights under FERPA transfer from the parents to the student (“eligible student”). The FERPA statute is found at 20 U.S.C. § 1232g and the FERPA regulations are found at 34 CFR Part 99.
