Academic Grievances
At the end of a term, some students receive grades they disagree with. In the majority of cases, students should first attempt to resolve the issue with the instructor. When the concern is related to unlawful discrimination by the instructor, students can file a complaint with the Office of Diversity, Inclusion & Equal Opportunity through their Forms page. If you have questions about unlawful discrimination in the classroom, you can contact this office through their website.
Most disagreements can be resolved by working with the instructor. If students are unable to resolve the issue with the instructor, they can ask for the department representative to discuss this issue further. The department representative will determine the appropriate next steps and facilitate the resolution.
