Student Complaint Policy

DePauw University has policies and protocols for reporting and resolving several types of incidents and complaints. The Student Complaint Policy includes the policies and/or reporting steps for:

• University Harassment Policy
• ADA Grievance
• Classroom Complaints
• University Bias Incident Reporting Protocol
• Reporting an Incident of Sexual Misconduct
• Filing a Complaint Outside of DePauw

In some cases, it may be difficult for a person with a concern to categorize the nature of the incident.  In addition, some incidents may span categories.  Such difficulties should not dissuade individuals from reporting a concern or filing a complaint using any of the university policies and protocols.

Retaliation, or attempts to retaliate, against any individual who files a grievance or complaint is strictly prohibited.
