2.7 Students Grievances
In our department, we are dedicated to maintaining a fair and transparent process for addressing student grievances related to academic issues. If you face problems such as grading disputes, unfair treatment, or concerns about academic misconduct, we recommend that you first attempt to resolve these issues informally with the faculty member involved. If this approach does not resolve the matter, you may then formally submit a grievance to the Department Chair or the designated Academic Coordinator. The formal grievance process requires you to submit a written description of your concern, include any relevant evidence, and specify the resolution you are seeking. The department will review and investigate the grievance promptly while ensuring confidentiality throughout the process. If you are dissatisfied with the outcome, you have the right to appeal the decision. Academic advising and counseling services are also available to support you throughout this process. For more information and contact details, please refer to our department’s grievance policy.
Student grievances can cover a broad range of issues, reflecting various concerns or dissatisfaction with their academic experience. Common types of student grievances include:
- Grading Disputes
- Issue: Disagreement with grades received on assignments, exams, or overall course performance.

2.9 Feedback
In our department, feedback is essential for improving performance and enhancing the educational experience. Feedback types include:
- Faculty Feedback: This includes evaluations and comments from faculty about student performance, curriculum effectiveness, teaching resources, and classroom environments. Faculty also provide insights into professional development opportunities and institutional policies, helping to refine teaching methods and curriculum design.
- Student Feedback: This feedback reflects students’ experiences with teaching quality, course content, learning environments, and assessment fairness. Students also evaluate academic support services, campus facilities, extracurricular activities, and personal development opportunities. Their input is crucial for refining educational practices and campus services.
- Parent Feedback: Parents provide perspectives on their child’s academic experience, including the quality of education, student support services, and campus communication. They also assess the safety and inclusivity of the campus environment, extracurricular opportunities, and overall value for tuition costs. Their feedback helps ensure the institution meets the needs of students and their families.
These various forms of feedback are vital for making informed decisions that improve educational outcomes, support faculty development, and enhance overall student satisfaction.
2.10 Student Counselling
Student counselling offers important help for students facing academic, personal, and career challenges. It helps students find ways to overcome problems and achieve their goals. Access to counselling also boosts students’ confidence and independence, allowing them to handle issues and track their progress on their own. Regularly checking progress and gathering feedback are important to ensure counselling is effective and to make any needed improvements in support.
