Intent to Graduate Form (PDF)

There are many avenues available for students to discuss concerns or provide suggestions about different aspects of the undergraduate or graduate program. Here are the mechanisms provided to address your concerns:

1. Discuss your concern with the relevant party. Meeting directly with the person whose classroom, supervisory or administrative policy or action is in question is always the best first step since it addresses the concern where it arises.
2. Discuss your concern with your advisor. If discussions with the relevant party prove unsuccessful, or if you feel more comfortable speaking to your advisor, he or she will be happy to speak with you confidentially.
3. Discuss your concern with the Department Chair. The Department Chair will be glad to meet with you to discuss concerns that you may have about any aspect of your program. If you wish to discuss concerns that pertain to a specific faculty or staff member your decision about confidentiality will be respected.
4. Contact the Office of Student Services in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences.

• You may send an email directly to the Office of Student Services administrator requesting that she share your concern anonymously with the Chair of your department, Graduate Program Director, or both depending on the concern.
• You may request a meeting with the Office of Student Services administrator to share your concern and dialog about how to resolve it. This step represents an action that goes beyond the Department and might be helpful if you are concerned about basic Department policy that may differ from the College guidelines or if you believe the Department mechanism would not be sufficient.
• You may complete the online student concern form.

1. Address your concern to the relevant accrediting body. This step can be achieved by contacting the organization and should be used only in cases where very serious concerns are raised about important Departmental policies, or the handling of a particular concern.
