11.2.4 Other Grievance and appeal Procedures
It is the policy of the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (SHRS) that all students be treated fairly and that evaluations of their academic performance, standing, and progress are conducted objectively. The faculty in the SHRS are committed to grading and student evaluation practices that are fair, objective, and consistent with the standards required for successful health professions education and practice.
Students who believe that the procedures, facts, or policies have been misinterpreted or that the decision was made arbitrarily may initiate an appeal after receiving an unfavorable response to their complaint from the program (see SHRS Appeal Policy). If you wish to initiate an appeal, you will need to submit a request in writing to shrsdean@mghihp.edu within ten (10) business days of written notice of the program decision.
The University is committed to creating and maintaining a community in which all its members including students, faculty, staff, and visitors can live and work together in an environment free from discrimination. The University’s Title IX policy and guidance for reporting sex or gender discrimination (including sexual harassment and misconduct) can be accessed on the Title IX University website page. Students can reference the Title IX Reporting Procedures for Students and contact the Title IX Coordinators for Students. Faculty and staff can reference the University’s Sexual Harassment Policy on the Intranet for resolution of complaints and contact the Title IX Coordinator for Faculty and Staff.
To report bias and other incidents (non-Title IX), students can submit an Incident Report form through the Office of Student and Alumni Services. Students must provide their name and University email address in the report, which will be reviewed by the Dean of Student and Alumni Services. Students, faculty and staff can also submit reports anonymously through the University Input form, which will be reviewed by the University President.
