Student Complaint Process
Student Complaint Policy
In accordance with federal regulations and expectations of the Higher Learning Commission ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ sets forth this student complaint policy consistent with its mission as a Catholic and Jesuit university. This policy applies to all ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ students regardless of college, school, classification, type or location. No retaliation of any kind shall be taken against a student who files a complaint under this policy.
Please read this policy in its entirety to determine who to contact, or if unsure, how to complete and submit the Student Complaint Form below.
Some student complaints are related to academic procedures or personnel. These issues may best be addressed by the chairperson of a department or by an administrator in the dean’s office of the appropriate college or school. Students are encouraged to reach out to an administrator, such as a department chair or assistant or associate dean, in the appropriate area to discuss the matter.

Students may, at times, be unsure where to go with a particular complaint. In such cases, students may complete and submit the Student Complaint Form below. Please read the instructions carefully before submitting a complaint.
The complaint must contain the following information: (1) Complainant’s name, MUID (identification number), Marquette E-mail, phone number and mailing address; (2) A detailed description of the matter including the specific actions and dates that constitute the complaint along with the names and titles of those presumed to be responsible; (3) An account of what steps have already been taken to resolve the issue; and (4) Any documentation (evidence) related to the complaint.
Upon submission of a formal complaint, the Division of Student Affairs will determine where to refer the complaint for resolution.1 After referral, the appropriate administrator will investigate the matter and contact the student as necessary with questions or for additional information. Typically, complaints are investigated and resolved within 30 working days, during which time a resolution will be rendered and communicated to the student.
The student may appeal the resolution to the provost within five (5) working days following communication to the Complainant of the resolution. The provost (or provost’s designee) may request additional information from the complainant as well as from the college/school/area involved in the complaint. The provost will make a determination on the appeal which will be shared with the complainant and the affected unit or individual. The provost’s determination shall be final.
Students may file complaints .
