Academic Complaints, Grievances and Appeals
If you have a problem relating to an academic matter, you are encouraged to discuss the problem
initially with the member of staff concerned. If you feel uncomfortable about doing this or are
unable to resolve the problem satisfactorily, you may seek assistance from your Professional Year
Director of Studies or from the Head of Department.
If the problem cannot be resolved within the Department, consult
- Complaints Resolution Process (University website)
- Section O:Appeals and Grievances of General Course and Examination Regulations in UC Calendar
Harassment
The University regards harassment of any kind involving staff, students or visitors, whether on or
off campus, as unacceptable. Harassment can be defined as unwelcome, unsolicited and unreciprocated behaviour by a person or
group that may offend, humiliate or intimidate another, and interferes with a person’s right to work
or study in a non-threatening environment.
- If you have a complaint relating to a staff member, student or visitor, the normal procedure would be
to make an informal approach to the Head of Department. - If you wish to discuss the matter informally (without formalising the complaint), the University Grievance Advisor can offer advice on options available for an informal resolution.
- Students wishing to make a formal allegation of harassment should visit the University complaint website and contact the University Grievance Advisor.
