If discussion with the involved faculty member is not possible or is not effective, the student should discuss the issue with the Graduate Program Director or the Associate Dean for Academic Programs. If the issue cannot be resolved informally, and the student wants to proceed with an investigation of the incident(s), then the student submits a written complaint within 60 class days of the incident to the Associate Dean for Academic Programs. The complaint should attempt to identify the following: the student grievant, the respondent faculty member, any other person(s) involved, the incident including approximate date and time, the limitation of the student’s ability to complete the degree and a brief statement of the remedy sought. </li> | ||

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;"></li> | <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The ad hoc grievance committee will submit a formal confidential report to the Associate Dean for Academic Programs.
