Student Dispute Resolutions
While attending New Futures we know there may be times when you have disagreements with other students or staff members that you can’t resolve on your own. To help you with this process, we have mediation available. Please try to speak with your counselor to assist you before it reaches a crisis stage. All counselors are trained in mediation and will help you with the process.
