Weber State University aspires to provide an excellent educational experience. However, occasionally mistakes happen, or misunderstandings occur. When problems or issues arise, there are avenues where you can voice a complaint, petition for a change, or make an appeal.

Other Student Grievances

• Regarding faculty – must follow PPM Section 9 - Students should contact petitions@weber.edu for further information. 
• Regarding staff/administrators – Whenever possible, complaints or grievances should be resolved at the lowest level possible (ie: staff member, supervisor, director, etc.). If unresolved, students may be referred to the appropriate vice president, in accordance with PPM 6-22 for review. Where the vice president (or designee) determines that there is reasonable cause to believe a staff member violated university policy and the student requests disciplinary action of the staff member, PPMs 3-31 and 3-31a may be reconciled to provide the appropriate process to the staff member as agreed upon between the Due Process Officer and the AVP of Human Resources, with consideration for expediency and fairness. Students may fill out the form, which will be sent to Human Resources - petitions@weber.edu
• Admission to the University – must follow PPM Section 6-2 Section 6.3
• Transferring credits from another institution: must follow PPM Section 4-21a
• Parking Violations
• Athletics – student-athletes may be found to have violated the Student Code, but may also face other consequences within the athletic department that are governed by separate standards of the Athletics Department related to privileges associated with team membership. 
• International students - SEVIS related complaints

If you have questions about jurisdiction or process, contact petitions@weber.edu or deanofstudents@weber.edu.
