Student Grievance policy
Students are encouraged to resolve academic concerns directly with their instructor or the individual who made the decision which is in dispute. In cases where a decision cannot be resolved informally, a student may choose to pursue a formal grievance through the student grievance process. The UIC Student Academic Grievance Policy is described in detail at the link provided below. A link to the Student Academic Grievance Procedures which outline the steps of the grievance process can also be found below. Some programs in the college have specific processes for addressing appeals or grievances related to academic standing. AHS students should consult their student handbook for additional details.
