A grievance is a formal complaint that is raised by a student towards faculty or staff. The student should complete a Complaint/Grievance Form (found on the right sides of this page)and submit it electronically to the CHSS Academic Affairs Office at chsshelp@gmu.edu. All grievances will be thoroughly investigated.
IMPORTANT: Some grievances are the purview of the Office of Access, Compliance and Community (OACC) and are thus subject to review by that office. OACC ensures and monitors Mason’s compliance with Federal and Commonwealth of Virginia non-discrimination laws, and will review your complaint to determine the appropriate next steps. Please see the OACC website for the grievance procedure.
Please additionally note: Complete the non-confidential Title IX reporting form to notify the Title IX Office of sexual and gender-based misconduct, or other forms of interpersonal violence, which can be found on the OACC website.
