Office of the Independent Adjudicator
Reviews student complaints about universities and colleges in England and Wales, once their own procedure is complete.
oiahe.org.ukComplaints
We want every student to be treated fairly and to get clear, honest advice. If something has gone wrong, please tell us. This page explains how to make a complaint, who will deal with it, how long each step takes, and where else you can go if you are still not satisfied.
Our Commitment
Regent Education Services Limited takes every complaint seriously. We will listen, look into what happened fairly, and reply to you in writing. Making a complaint is free, and it will never affect the advice or support you receive from us.
Anyone who has used our service, or contacted us about it, can make a complaint. Someone else, such as a family member, can complain on your behalf if you give us your permission in writing.
If your complaint is about a university or college, for example an admissions decision or a problem with your course, it needs to go to that institution. We explain how further down this page, and we are happy to point you in the right direction.
Our promise Raising a concern will never count against you. We would always rather know.
Step by Step
Most concerns can be put right quickly by talking to us. If not, this is the process we follow.

Helpful to Know
A few details help us look into your complaint quickly and fairly.
Use the university or college's own complaints procedure first. If you are still not satisfied once it is complete, students in England and Wales can usually take their complaint to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education (OIA), which reviews complaints about universities free of charge.
