Xavier University strives to provide the highest quality educational experience for all of its students. However, if a conflict does arise, students are encouraged to reach out to the appropriate personnel to discuss concerns, grievances and complaints. Issues related to academic courses should be raised first with the instructor, then the instructor’s department chair and finally the instructor’s dean, if necessary. Issues related to sex discrimination should be filed with the Title IX Office.
If an issue cannot be resolved by Xavier University’s internal processes, students in online courses in SARA states may choose to file a complaint with the Ohio Department of Higher Education.
