Student Complaints and Grievance Reports

The Dean of Students Office is here to help. There are multiple ways to report a concern. Any UK community member or concerned citizen external to the institution can submit a concern through one or more of the reporting mechanisms found below. We also understand that situations and circumstances maybe complex. That said, please know that all offices identified as a safety resource for the UK community work very closely together. Should there be aspects of your report that we believe is best addressed in a different office, we will make sure to share the report with the appropriate office. Thank you in advance for bringing this concern to our attention. Please select from the reporting options listed below.
