Students who have a complaint for any reason either material or not should carry out the following procedure to resolve the problem:

1. Fill in student’s complaint form specifying clearly what the problem is. Please give your personal details so the institution should contact you straight away. Complaints forms are available at student services desk and at the Institute’s website ps.ac.cy or otherwise you can contact any of the tutors directly.
2. You can place your complaint form in the students’ complaint box located at the student services reception desk (1^st floor).
3. All new complaints forms are reviewed once a week and all existing ones are reviewed on a regular basis.
4. All complaints forms are entered into a complaint database in student services including details such as complaint description, timescale, outcome and any remedial action taken. The nature and pattern of complaints should be closely monitored as part of the Annual Review.
