Students should advocate for themselves by first speaking with the professor.  If the professor cannot or will not resolve the issue, reach out to the department chairperson/unit head (chairperson/unit head information is found on each GVSU major, minor, or program webpage).  If the conflict is not resolved at the department chair/unit head level, contact the Dean of the appropriate University college. 

If a student continues to have difficulty with a faculty member or situation after contacting the professor, unit head/department chair, and Dean, please reach out to the Student Ombuds or the Office of the Provost for additional assistance.
