|Filing Complaints about a College or University|
It may be that there is an Ombudsman at the institution who hears both sides of a dispute and attempts to resolve it. If there isn’t an Ombudsman, most colleges and universities have a Dean or Office of Student Affairs that assists students with a wide variety of services.
We hope that this information has been helpful to you. It is not possible for us to anticipate each and every question that you might have as you start or return to college. Fortunately, all colleges and universities welcome new students to their campuses each term, and there are few questions or concerns that they have not dealt with in the past. Please remember, there isn’t another place in the world where questions and answers can be matched as well as they can at institutions of higher education—they are there precisely to answer questions, big and small.
