p-l-md"> <p><strong>How to File a Complaint</strong></p> <p>Most consumers receive a quality education and have a generally positive experience from attending an approved private postsecondary educational institution (institution). However, in the event a consumer believes an institution's administrative processes or educational programs are compromised and not up to the required minimum standards, the Bureau should be notified. A complaint may be filed by writing (<a href="../forms_pubs/complaint.pdf">Complaint Form</a>) or calling the Bureau's Enforcement Section at the following address and telephone number:</p> <p>Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education<br /> 2535 Capitol Oaks Drive, Suite 400<br /> Sacramento, CA 95833<br /> Telephone: (916) 431-6959<br /> FAX: (916) 263-1897</p> <p>An alternative avenue for filing a Complaint is to utilize the California Department of Consumer Affairs' (DCA) online Complaint Form (<a href="https://www.dca.ca.gov/webapplications/apps/complaint/index.shtml">Online Complaint Form</a>). The DCA will forward the Online Complaint to the Bureau.</p> <ul> <li><a href="../forms_pubs/complaint.pdf">Print and File Complaint Form</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.dca.ca.gov/webapplications/apps/complaint/index.shtml">Online Complaint Form</a></li> </ul> <h3>WHO MAY FILE A COMPLAINT</h3> <p>Anyone may file a complaint if they believe an approved institution has violated the laws governing the institution's operation.
