Concerns Hotline
Report concerns of fraud or unethical activity anonymously
The Concerns Hotline allows students, employees, and visitors to report instances involving fraud or unethical activity. Reports that relate to personnel grievance matters will be referred to the colleges and handled in accordance with established college practices.
The Colorado Community College System (CCCS) is the managerial operation for the State Board for Community College and Occupational Education (SBCCOE), which is the governing authority over thirteen (13) community colleges.
The SBCCOE has established policies that give employees and students within CCCS a mechanism by which grievances can be resolved at their college. Each college is responsible for carrying out those grievance procedures locally.
For details on the grievance process, refer to the following:
