External Contact Information for Student Complaints

If students are unable to resolve their concerns through the internal grievance process, they may also pursue the grievance through the external regulators listed below. Although students are encouraged to begin the process with the Ombuds, there is nothing which prevents the student from submitting a complaint to these agencies before submitting the concern through the University's grievance procedure. Be advised, however, that certain agencies may require this as part of their process.
