Complaint Processes
Students at UM are encouraged to resolve issues directly with the appropriate parties. If necessary, a student may file formal, written complaints. This student complaint process is available so that the concerns and complaints of students are addressed fairly and resolved promptly. Students must fully exhaust their rights under UM’s official complaint process.
