PURPOSE:
Western New Mexico University (WNMU) has established this Student Academic Complaint policy to address student complaints concerning:
1. Assignment of Grades;
2. Professional conduct of an instructor, that does not involve discrimination or harassment, which may reasonably justify a complaint based on unfair treatment regarding actions other than grades.
POLICY:
WNMU Students have a right to make a formal complaint and seek remedy regarding academic matters such as assignment of course grades or the professional conduct of an instructor. To do so, students must follow the Academic Complaint Procedure which is published on the WNMU policies website and in the student handbook.
Complaints pertaining to a dispute related to an academic integrity violation or pertaining to discrimination or harassment are not subject to the Academic Complaint Procedure. Students shall follow policies and procedures related to those complaints.
Academic Complaint Procedures can be found on the Center for Student Success Website.
