Students faced with academic and/or administrative problems and feel that they have not been treated fairly, may submit their complaint using the proper channels.
Following are the guidelines to lodge such complaints:
It is recommended to approach the departmental Graduate office who will then forward the complaint to the appropriate person (professor, departmental graduate studies supervisor, department vice dean, or dean, head of tuition department, etc.)
Should the problem not be resolved, the Graduate School Dean may be approached (in writing with supporting documentation). If the needs arises an appointment will be scheduled with the student.
If all above possibilities have been exhausted, and yet problem has not been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties, the complaint may be forwarded to the Ombudsman with supporting documentation.
