Students with concerns or service requests should first contact the appropriate department for assistance. A list of concerns and departmental contact information is included in the table at the end of this section. The following information may also be helpful:

• UA Grantham has an “open door” policy – any staff member or department can be contacted via phone or email.
• Academic-related requests may be made by submitting the Academic Appeal Form available on GLife.
• Grade appeals and similar academic concerns should be made following the policy outlined in the University Catalog. The appropriate UA Grantham personnel will analyze and then attempt to remedy the situation.
• All student concerns or service requests will be routed to the appropriate department.
• Appropriate UA Grantham staff members will analyze the concern or service request and attempt to remedy the situation, generally within five business days but no longer than 30 business days.
• Students should include their UA Grantham student number (GID) in all correspondence.

Students whose concerns or service requests are not timely resolved at the departmental level may file a grievance with the University Ombudsman. The ombudsman is charged with resolving disputes within the University community and does not act on behalf of any party, but rather as an advocate for fairness between all parties. Student grievances should be addressed to:

UA Grantham is operating under NC-SARA policies; complaints against an institution operating under NC-SARA policies go first through the institution’s own procedures for resolution of grievances, see above. If a person bringing a complaint is not satisfied with the outcome of the institutional process for handling complaints, the complaint (except for complaints about grades or student conduct violations) may be appealed, within two years of the incident about which the complaint is made, to the SARA Portal Entity in the home state at https://kansasregents.org/resources/PDF/Academic_Affairs/3257-ComplaintForm_SARAinstitutions.pdf

The mailing address for the Kansas Board or Regents is 1000 SW Jackson Street, Suite 520 Topeka, KS 66612-1368
