Denials & Alternative Resolution Process
Students (not a student employee) with concerns regarding equal access, access solutions or denial of an accommodations should contact the SAS office to discuss the nature of the complaint and whether an alternative resolution process could be identified. Often, an alternative resolution process can to address the accommodation concern before contacting the ADA Coordinator. However, if a student does not wish to go through the alternative resolution process with the SAS office, the student can contact the ADA Coordinator directly.
Grievance Procedures
ADA Grievances
When an alternative resolution process is unsuccessful, students may formally appeal an accommodation denial or modification. To do so, the student must send an appeal in writing to the ADA Coordinator. Please review the Student ADA Grievance Procedure.
Academic Grievances
Students who have grievances related to course grades, conduct of classes or other course matters should address those complaints first with the instructor of the course. If the student is not satisfied with the resolution, the grievance can then be taken to the chairperson of the appropriate academic department and, if resolution is not achieved there, the student may then go to the appropriate academic dean. For more information, visit the Dean of Students site.
Non-Academic Grievances
Students who have grievances related to University staff should first address those complaints directly with the individual. If the student is not satisfied, the grievance can then be taken to the appropriate supervisor of that department and, if resolution is not achieved there, the student may then go to the Dean of Students Office. For more information, visit the Dean of Students site.
