Report an Incident
All campus community members have the right to express opinions, make complaints, and protest University policies. Our complaint process prioritizes informal resolutions, but offers formal protocols if needed. Our support resources also help students impacted by a variety of circumstances.
Complaints by Students
Academic complaints include the following: academic conduct and discipline, academic standing (probation, suspension, and/or dismissal), and grade appeals. View more information in the course catalog.
Non-academic complaints include the following: admission appeals and petitions for readmission, bursar appeals, discrimination, sexual harassment or sexual misconduct, financial aid and scholarships appeals, parking and traffic appeals, residency appeals, student conduct and judicial appeals, student housing appeals, and University Police Department appeals.
General complaints are used when a student cannot determine if the complaint is academic or non-academic.
fill out the student complaint form. Contact UMatter: Student Support and Advocacy if you need additional assistance.
Complaints by Faculty, Staff, and Others
Faculty or staff wishing to file a complaint should visit the Office of Equal Opportunity and Regulatory Compliance or the Department of Human Resources.

The referral process begins by completing a CARE Referral. Once a referral is made about a person of concern, a UMatter staff member will review the information and may contact you for additional information about the individual.
