For graduate and adult degree programs, the formal general complaint procedure is described on the webpage at this link.
Note that these procedures cover complaints of a general nature and do not supersede specific policies involving cases such as grade appeals, sexual harassment, etc., which are covered elsewhere in the Student Handbook, catalog, or Graduate/DPS Policies.
