To protect student loan borrowers, the integrity of the CSLP® designation, and in fairness to designees, the Certified Student Loan Advisors Board of Standards (the Board) adheres to the following:
Complaints shall be reviewed by a member of the Board within 14 days of receipt. To file a complaint against a CSLP professional, please provide specific details including dates, times, individuals and the nature of the complaint and email to cslpATcslainstitute.org.
When a complaint alleges that a CSLP® designee has engaged in misconduct, a reviewing member of the Board will initiate the following:
Advisor Notice of Investigation – Written Notice of Investigation will be sent via email and post to the advisor’s last known address. The Notice will include the substance of the complaint, a deadline for submission of a written response and an opportunity to request an evidentiary hearing.
Right to Respond and Right to a Hearing – The advisor will have 45 days to prepare and submit a written response to the Complaint. Upon request and at the discretion of the Board, an advisor may be granted a 30-day extension of time to respond. In the response, the advisor may choose to request an evidentiary hearing.
Failure to Respond – If no response is received, the Board will assume the truth of the facts alleged in the Complaint and proceed to adjudication.
Right to Evidentiary Hearing – Upon request of the advisor, the Disciplinary Committee of the Board will conduct an evidentiary hearing via web conference. The advisor may have legal counsel, cross-examine witnesses and present evidence.
Findings of Fact – The Disciplinary Committee shall consider the Complaint, the advisor’s Response, and any evidence offered at the hearing in order to determine facts.
Board Determination – The Committee shall present its findings of fact and accompanying recommendations to the full Board. The Board shall make a final decision on what, if any, disciplinary action will be handed down. The decision of the Board is final and cannot be appealed absent a showing of previously unavailable exculpatory evidence.
