Student Complaint Procedures

Purpose

The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley endeavors to provide fair and objective procedures for hearing student complaints. Students are protected from coercion, intimidation, interference, harassment, retaliation, or discrimination for filing a complaint or assisting in an investigation.

Student Advisement for Concerns/Complaints

University policies and procedures direct students about how to file a complaint. The applicable policy will depend on the nature of the complaint. If a student has questions about the applicable policy, The Office for Student Rights and Responsibilities, located in the University Center, Rm. 315, on the UTRGV Edinburg Campus and in Cortez Hall, Rm. 205 on the UTRGV Brownsville Campus, can assist a student who has questions regarding existing policies and procedures. Methods to file complaints are outlined more fully in the UTRGV Handbook of Operating Procedures.
