Academic Complaint
Unfortunately, there are times when a student may feel that an instructor has conducted a course poorly, graded unfairly, or discriminated against them in some way. The University takes these complaints very seriously and urges students to seek resolution to these problems as soon as they are apparent.
For students with an academic complaint, please refer to the policies of Academic Affairs. An academic complaint is the proper channel for a student who feels they have been treated unfairly in one of the following areas:
- Freedom of Expression - Students may disagree with views and data presented in a course, but are still required to learn the content of that course.
- Academic Evaluation - Evaluation of student performance shall be done without prejudice and in accordance with established standards.
- Protection of Confidential Information - Faculty shall keep confidential information they acquire during the course of their work regarding a student's views, beliefs, and political associations. This information may not be shared without the consent of the student.
For students with a discrimination complaint, please refer to the Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Office. Contact the
