VisionGeorgia Highlands College offers confidential assistance to all members of the campus community with informally resolving conflict or other concerns and issues. The Campus Intake Officer listens, answers questions, makes referrals, and explains College policies and procedures. Georgia Highlands College also offers mediation between individuals or groups in a dispute to resolve conflict. Mediation and facilitation services offered by the College give all persons involved in conflict the opportunity to discuss problems and cooperate in generating options for resolving disputes. Neither the Campus Intake Officer nor the campus mediators has power to adjudicate, arbitrate, or investigate complaints. Individuals who have questions or concerns about classroom environment, interpersonal conflicts, appeals processes, university policies, fair treatment, communication difficulties, or need help with resolving other university concerns are encouraged to call or visit the office to attempt informal resolution prior to filing formal complaints.
