The Associate Dean of the Graduate School is available to assist graduate students who are experiencing difficulties or want to express academic concerns related to their graduate programs. The Dean of Students Office sponsors and coordinates activities that focus on student growth and development outside of the classroom. This office advocates on behalf of all students, supplements existing channels of appeal, and helps students to resolve problems in a variety of areas. DRES provides resources and services for the enhancement of diversity programs campus-wide. In addition, DRES works with members of the University community who wish to file a complaint of discrimination or sexual harassment.
All complaints receive private and immediate attention.
The Conflict Resolution Program provides mediation services whereby people having conflict can work with a neutral third party to resolve their differences. The Conflict Resolution Program also offers seminars, internship opportunities, and consultation for individuals or groups. Services are available to students, faculty, and staff. They are voluntary and confidential. If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a documented disability or if you have emergency information to share, please contact the Office of Disability Services.
