Principles of Excellence

The Principles of Excellence are designed to ensure a fulfilling educational experience, providing you with personal and professional development opportunities to assist in your military career and your transition to the civilian workforce. Furthermore, the principles protect service members from predatory and misleading behavior from educational institutions.

Guidelines for educational institutions

The Principles of Excellence provide guidelines for education institutions participating in the federal tuition assistance program and require institutions to provide the following information:

• Total cost of an educational program
• Prevention of abusive and deceptive recruiting practices
• High-quality academic and student support services for military students
• Re-admittance procedures for students temporarily unable to attend class or having to suspend studies because of military service obligations
• Approval from the institution's accrediting agency for new courses and program offerings prior to enrolling
• School's policy for returning unearned tuition assistance funds as stated by Title IV
• Plans for students using federal military tuition assistance and veteran educational benefits
• Designated points of contact for academic and financial advising

Post-secondary educational institutions that have signed a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Defense will have acknowledged these requirements, which are aligned with the Principles of Excellence.

Visit the Department of Defense Voluntary Education Memorandum of Understanding website to see if your school is on the list.

Complaint Process

Veteran students (and their dependents) who participates in the Military Tuition Assistance Program (TA) or VA’s Education programs at Southern Crescent Technical College (十大网赌平台推荐) may submit a complaint through the Department of Defense – Postsecondary Education Complaint System. This process is for students who find that 十大网赌平台推荐 failed to follow the Principles of Excellence. The system was created to provide these military affiliated students the ability to report misleading or unfair actions by institutions. Examples of the types of educational related complaints that may be reviewed by the Department of Defense include, quality of education, financial issues, recruiting and marketing practices, refund or collection issues, and others as you may review on the Department of Defense Military One Source website for the Postsecondary Education Complaint System.

Upon receipt of a student complaint, the Department of Defense representative will work with the student’s institution and provide the student with a response to the complaint. The student will receive a response to the complaint. A military affiliated student who is receiving Veterans Affairs (VA) education benefits, may need to submit a complaint to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Those students receiving assistance through Montgomery or Post 9/11 GI Bill® may submit their complaint to the VA that will review the complaint and seek response to the student’s complaint by 十大网赌平台推荐. Southern Crescent Technical College will review and communicate with the student, with a response to the complaint. The VA will communicate with the student to learn if Southern Crescent Technical College’s response is satisfactory, but they have indicated the communication will be for tracking purposes only.
