Grievance and Appeal Procedures
Students follow the grievance and appeal procedures of the department in which they are studying. Where department procedures are not clear, students contact the department chair and/or the director of graduate studies. Appeals beyond the department are made directly to the dean of the Graduate School. For instructions on how to appeal to the dean, refer to the PDF Graduate Student Appeal Procedure. Students may seek advice from the associate dean of the Graduate School who serves as academic counselor before beginning a formal process within the department or an appeal to the dean.
