Academic Resources
Grade Appeals and Student Complaints
KSU desires to resolve student grievances, complaints and concerns in an expeditious, fair and amicable manner. The complaints and concerns webpage was developed to assist current and prospective students in submitting complaints and appeals, and to direct them to the most effective venue for accurate information and resolution. The resources on the page will direct students to the specific venue to appropriately address the related student complaint.
Complaints for online students are resolved following the same general procedures for students who attend classes on campus. However, for any process that requires a student appear in person, the university may make other arrangements. For processes that cannot be completed via telephone, email, or written correspondence, the university may set up a two-way video-conference site in place of a meeting on the KSU campus.
