The MHA Program follows the University’s policies regarding formal student complaints. If a resolution at the lowest level (e.g., instructor level) cannot be achieved, there are established procedures to escalate the complaint to a higher level (e.g., the Department Chair, the Associate Dean, or the Dean of the College of Business).
Advocacy services are provided by the University, where students can find information regarding the procedures for complaint resolution (in areas such as academic or non-academic complaints/grievances), which can be accessed here: ISU Grievance and Complaints Procedures.
Student Grievance Process & Complaint Resolution:
Students should follow the process outlined within academic complaints/grievances for a particular course. Students with academic complaints/grievances should first meet with the instructor responsible for the policy, procedure or decision that resulted in the student’s initial complaint/grievance.
If the student is still dissatisfied after that meeting or the issue remains unresolved, the student should next meet with the instructor’s department head, then with the Associate Dean of the College in which the course is offered, and then with the Dean of the College in which the course is offered.
Students can find information regarding the University procedures for complaint resolution (in areas such as academic or non-academic complaints/grievances) on the University’s website, which can be accessed here: Advocacy Services.
Students with any conduct concerns should follow the process outlined in the Student Code of Conduct (ISUPP 5000), which can be accessed here: ISUPP 5000.
For more information regarding student grievances and/or complaint resolution, please visit the
University’s Complaint Resolution website.
