Student Assistance and Grievance Procedure

The University of Northwestern Ohio attempts to resolve all student concerns and has both informal and formal processes for students to follow.

ACADEMIC

Students are advised to talk with their instructors if they are having concerns with a class or with a grade.  If the concern is with the instructor, students should contact the Dean or Director of their college.  Students may appeal (in writing) the decision made by the Dean or Director to the Vice President for Academic Affairs/Provost.

The formal Grade Appeal Process is located in the University Catalog.

NON-ACADEMIC

Students who have concerns that are not classroom or grade related are encouraged to discuss their concerns with the appropriate department head.  If students are unsure of the appropriate department head, they may contact any office manager for guidance.

Once all possible avenues for resolution have been exhausted, University of Northwestern Ohio students who wish to file a formal complaint should follow the appropriate process for their state of residence below.
