Record of Student Complaints

The 99久久精品 is required to share information about student complaints with its accrediting agency, the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities; however, individual identities will not be revealed without the express permission of the complainant or as required by law.

The 99久久精品 will review the data to identify any trends/issues that warrant further investigation, revision to existing policies, etc.

General Information

Informal Resolution:

As specified in  Student Dispute Resolution, the first step for a student to challenge a university action or decision will be to seek an informal resolution with the person responsible for the decision or action, or with the person's immediate supervisor. There are often deadlines for completing the informal process, and students will want to check the particular policy for information about deadlines. If the complaint is not resolved informally, students may file a formal complaint using formal resolution procedures.

Formal Resolution:

A formal complaint is a written request to initiate a formal review procedure. A formal written complaint shall include:

  • A statement of the issue,
  • The university policy or procedure violated,
  • A summary of your attempt at informal resolution as specified in  Student Dispute Resolution,
  • A list of potential witnesses,
  • Supporting documents, and
  • The desired outcome.

Academic Disputes

Challenges to academic decisions or actions of the faculty or academic administration will be reviewed according to the procedure that implements the  Student Dispute Resolution and its University Regulation on Student Dispute Resolution: Review of Academic Decisions or Actions. Appropriate issues for this procedure include (1) final grades resulting from alleged grading errors or (2) the arbitrary or capricious assignment of final grades or (3) the arbitrary or capricious dismissal from or denial of admission to an academic program based upon academic considerations.
