Students can view the grievance policy for graduate & professional students in the current Graduate Catalog.

NOTE: Every effort shall be made by the graduate/professional student and the members involved to settle their differences amicably and informally to redress grievance. If appropriate or necessary, the department chair shall participate in this informal effort to resolve the grievance. Students in colleges and schools where graduate programs are not administered by a department shall have an alternative person (i.e. Associate Dean, program director or an appropriate designee) to resolve the grievance.

If a student is unsatisfied with the outcome of a college-level grievance hearing, they may appeal submit an appeal to the Graduate School. This appeal must be in writing explaining the party’s position, and filed The Graduate School within 30 calendar days of the final disposition at the college level. This may be done by delivering a hard copy of the appeal to room 102 E. Cullen or emailing an electronic copy to gradschool@uh.edu. The appeal must include a concise statement of the outcome desired by the appellant.

Questions about the grievance process can be directed to gradschool@uh.edu.
