The following will advise students of procedures to be followed in filing non-academic complaints.

Students are protected from coercion, intimidation, interference, harassment, retaliation, or discrimination for filing a complaint, or assisting in an investigation. Students may pursue complaints through the Office of the Dean of Students.
