SCAN monthly report monitoring is conducted by a designated campus or department administrator who visually reviews the report. If a charge appears excessively high or unusual, the responsible administrator will contact the department or the individual who placed the call to confirm whether or not the call is business related, and therefore allowable. If it determined not to be an allowable SCAN call, the caller will reimburse the college.
259.30.05
DIS provides a SCAN authorization code audit every six months, listing all SCAN authorization codes that have had no usage within that six month period. These reports are reviewed by the responsible system administrator, and SCAN Authorizations Codes for individuals no longer with Seattle Community Colleges are deleted. If appropriate, the report is also forwarded to the department administrators, who are asked to identify any other SCAN codes that can be deleted. The administrator reviewing this audit must provide appropriate protection for the data being analyzed, as it is extraordinarily sensitive.
259.40 Privacy and Access
259.40.01
District EIR's are not generally provided for sending or receiving confidential messages. EIR systems may not be secure from unauthorized access, and the District cannot guarantee that messages are private or secure. The District will, however, make reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of communications. Authorized personnel shall have access to data under users' control, as provided elsewhere in this Procedure. Electronic messages ordinarily will be backed up and retained under retention schedules approved by the appropriate records committee in accordance with state law. Users should assume that all electronic messages may be stored for a period of at least six months on disk or tape.
259.40.02
Users shall respect the privacy of others in accordance with PRO 259.20.06.

259.40.03

The Student Complaints Policy (WAC 132F-121-060) describes the process students follow to complain about District or College policies and/or procedures that allegedly have not been followed by college personnel.
A student complaint/issue against an instructor or staff member should be referred to the appropriate division Dean or Administrator. District policy and procedures encourages student complaints to be processed on an informal basis first. This usually entails involvement of the instructor and the Dean/Administrator to resolve the complaint at the informal level. Contact information for Division Administrators is available on program pages.
If the student feel the complaint was not resolved, the student has the option of filing a formal complaint online.

Further, each state must have “a process to review and appropriately act on complaints concerning the institution including enforcing applicable state laws.” 34 C.F.R. § 600.9.
