It is highly recommended that you meet with a counselor before completing any petition. A list of types of petitions is below. Links to the appropriate form are included in the grid.

Complaint Procedure

A complaint is an informal claim regarding alleged improper, unfair, arbitrary or discriminatory treatment. Any student or group of students may file a complaint concerning any campus issue and discuss it with the appropriate employees or administrators. A complaint may constitute a grievance if the issue is not mutually resolved, and the complaint falls within the description of a grievance.

For academic-related concerns see Anne Johnson, Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs, LA 214.

For student-related concerns see John Pogue, Associate Dean of Students, CC 227.
