Not sure where to get help with an issue you haven’t been able to resolve? University of Maryland Global Campus has several resources available to you. We are committed to the effective, efficient, and prompt resolution of complaints of any nature.

Student Grievances

The Student Grievance Procedures policy outlines the process for students who want to seek redress on issues with UMGC faculty or staff members, or UMGC academic departments or administrative units. There are specific policies on grading, grade of incomplete, code of student conduct, and academic dishonesty and plagiarism, among others. If you have an academic-related grievance, please first try to resolve it with the faculty. If you need to discuss it further, contact the program chair.
