File a complaint about an approved Colorado private occupational school.
IMPORTANT!! PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU FILE: If you have a complaint (that is not about a diploma mill), please be advised that according to statute, the Division of Private Occupational Schools may only accept an electronically filed complaint from an individual who was denied enrollment; is a current student; or is a former student of a private occupational school that is approved to operate in Colorado.
If you are a former student, the Division may only process a complaint provided not more than two (2) calendar years have passed since you last attended the school that is the subject of the complaint. Under very limited circumstances, a third-party, who can show a monetary interest, in a matter involving a current or former student of a private occupational school (i.e. parent or legal guardian) may also be able to file a complaint.
Report a school or education provider that may be illegally operating in the state of Colorado without the required authorization, click "Submit a DPOS Complaint" to get started.
