UNMC Definitions

University Day: The term “University Day” means a weekday on which the campus offices are open. Check the academic calendar on the campus website to determine the days on which the campus offices are closed.

E-Mail Address of Record: The term “E-Mail Address of Record” means the student’s University assigned email address. Because important notices may be sent to students by email, it is extremely important that students make sure they check that email regularly.

Initial Steps for Resolving Student Complaints

1. As part of professional practice, it is recommended that the first course of action involve a discussion between the student and the student, faculty, or staff member to resolve the issue. All participants reserve the right to record any meeting that discusses these topics or have a third-party present to take notes regarding the meeting, with all parties having given consent and are aware of the recording.
