Grievance Procedures
Academic-Related Issues
The Graduate School follows the University’s policy on student academic grievance issues. Information about the Student Academic Grievance policy is available online at http://www1.umn.edu/usenate/policies/stugrieve.html .
Sexual Harassment
All-University policies and procedures pertaining to sexual harassment are available online at www1.umn.edu/regents/policies/humanresources/SexHarassment.html.
Student Conduct Code
Matters concerning student conduct are addressed by the University’s Student Conduct Code rather than by Graduate School policies. The code applies both to academic and non-academic misconduct. Alleged violations involving graduate students in either instance are governed by the procedures outlined in the code itself. Allegations of non-academic misconduct by graduate students are dealt with directly by the University’s conduct code coordinator. See section 5 of the Student Conduct Code (www.sja.umn.edu/conduct.html).
Because the Graduate School does not utilize a scholastic-standing committee or a disciplinary committee, responsibility for a full hearing concerning alleged academic misconduct by a graduate student most often lies with the department or program in which the student is majoring. When the alleged misconduct occurs in a course originating from a department or program outside of th student’s major, and the matter cannot be satisfactorily be resolved by the instructor, the allegation is forwarded to the conduct code coordinator for possible referral to a University disciplinary agency. For more information, contact the Student Judicial Affairs office at 612-624-6073, or visit their Web site at www.sja.umn.edu/.
