Student How-To: Submit a Complaint Form

Students may submit an Academic or Non-Academic Complaint. An academic complaint is a non-civil rights complaint related to work-related activities of any faculty member (such as grade disputes.) Students with concerns about a final grade in a course should follow the Grade Appeal policy. A non-academic complaint is related to civil rights, services, violations of FERPA, or other non-academic related complaint.
