The State of Florida is a member of SARA agreement. Webber International University has been approved and has joined the Florida State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (FL-SARA)

Students are encouraged to address a grievance with the professor or staff member for resolution. If there is no resolution, the student may submit a written complaint. The complaint must be a clear and concise written description of the evidence upon which the allegation is based, names and contact information for those with personal knowledge of the facts of the matter, information on any attempt for resolution prior to submission of the written complaint and a description of any external channels the complainant is pursuing.
Through the following link you will find an excerpt of current policy as it pertains to student complaints. It provides the necessary information on how and to whom a written complaint would be sent – Webber Written Complaints Policy. The full policy is available on the Webber intranet. Online students may begin the process by completing the Online Complaint Form.

Students out of the State of Florida would file with the appropriate state agency or accrediting body. See links below for contact information.
