Written Student Complaints

University of Florida Student Grievance Procedure (UF Regulation 4.012) defines a grievance as a dissatisfaction occurring when a student believes that any decision, act or condition affecting him or her is illegal, unjust, or creates unnecessary hardship. Students with a grievance are strongly encouraged to discuss with the University Ombuds office prior to initiating a formal grievance.

The Division of Enrollment Management procedures for handling student complaints are outlined below. These procedures apply to currently enrolled students. Student issues that are not related to the Division of Enrollment Management mission, or that fall under an existing formal and established process, are excluded from this procedure.
