Our Complaint Policy

At the L Makeup Institute, we are always receptive to suggestions and ideas from our students. Should our students wish to share ideas, insight, or constructive comments we recommend that they bring their thoughts to any staff member, educator, or administrator. If the student wishes to file a complaint, the L Makeup Institute will make every attempt to resolve any student complaint that is not frivolous or without merit in compliance with L Makeup Institute’s Complaint Procedures below.

L Makeup Institute recommends students exhaust the institution’s internal complaint process before submitting their complaint to the State Agency or Accreditor. If, as a student, you were not provided with this information, please inform school management.

The full complaint policy can be found on our website at lmi.edu. All complaint forms are available through the Admissions office.

   2. If final resolution is provided to the student and the student disagrees with the decision or if the student is not able to file a complaint with the school, the student may file a complaint with the applicable state agency or accreditor:

      ALL STUDENTS

      Schools accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges must have a procedure and operational plan for handling student complaints. If a student does not feel that the school has adequately addressed a complaint or concern, the student may consider contacting the Accrediting Commission. All complaints reviewed by the Commission must be in written form and should grant permission for the Commission to forward a copy of the complaint to the school for a response. This can be accomplished by filing the ACCSC Complaint Form. The complainant(s) will be kept informed as to the status of the complaint as well as the final resolution by the Commission. Please direct all inquiries to:

      A copy of the ACCSC Complaint Form is available at the school and may be obtained by contacting (Lisa Torti / Admissions Director) or online at www.accsc.org.

      1. If the complaint is of such nature that it cannot be resolved by the school, the school will refer it to an appropriate agency, if applicable.
      2. Depending on the extent and nature of the complaint, interviews with appropriate staff, faculty and other students may be necessary to reach a final resolution of the complaint.
      3. In cases of extreme conflict, it may be necessary to conduct an informal hearing regarding the complaint. If necessary, management will appoint a hearing committee consisting of one member selected by the school who has had no involvement in the dispute and who may also be a corporate officer, another member who may not be related to the student filing the complaint or another student in the school, and another member who may not be employed by the school or related to the school owners. The hearing will occur within 60 days of committee appointment. The hearing will be informal with the student presenting his/her case followed by the school’s response.  The hearing committee will be allowed to ask questions of all involved parties. Within 15 days of the hearing, the committee will prepare a report summarizing each witness’ testimony and a recommended resolution for the dispute. School management shall consider the report and either accept, reject, or modify the recommendations of the committee.
