Consistent with its mission, University of Detroit Mercy welcomes feedback from students about our policies, programs and services in an effort to promote a successful learning environment. To that end, Detroit Mercy is committed to providing prompt and fair resolution of all student complaints. We are accountable to our students, constituents and accrediting agency to provide a process by which students may lodge complaints in a nonthreatening manner, free from retaliation of any kind whatsoever.

What is a student complaint?

A student complaint ranges from an experience with, or treatment by, a University employee to a matter relating to academic or non-academic areas not addressed in college and school handbooks or University policies and procedures. There are two types of complaints:

• Academic: College/School-related, Library/IDS, Center for Career and Professional Development, Student Success Center issues or any other academic matter.
• Non-academic: Student Services (issues with Admissions, Financial Aid, Registrar, Student Accounting, International Services, Residence Life or other non-academic departments), Auxiliary Services (bookstores, food services), Veteran concerns or issues with Facilities or Public Safety (buildings, parking lots, security of person or property, etc.)

How is a student complaint different from a grievance or appeal?

This student complaint site is not intended to address student academic grievance and appeal issues. Students interested in submitting an academic grievance or appeal should follow the procedures in the applicable catalog or student handbook for such issues. This site is also not intended for sexual harassment, Title IX, sexual misconduct or violence or any other type of discrimination claims. For issues in these areas, refer to the following resources.
