Students at the College may express concerns, whether verbally or in writing, regarding any area of academic or student life without fear of coercion, harassment, intimidation, or reprisal from the College or its employees. Students also may expect a timely response to any complaint. Defamatory or baseless charges may cause a student to be held responsible for violations of College policies through the college conduct process.

Student concerns should be resolved as quickly as possible at the lowest possible College unit that has the authority to act. Because no single process can serve the wide range of possible concerns, the College provides specific processes for responding to certain kinds of student concerns. Where College policy provides a specific concern or grievance procedure, an aggrieved student should use the specified procedure. 

Students are also asked to report concerning behavior of any member of the College community. This includes reporting violations of College Policy and Respectful Community standards.
