The first step of any resolution should be at the lowest unit level, between the parties involved or the parties and an appropriate third party (e.g., other faculty, department chair, administrator). Students may wish to contact the Student Conflict Resolution Center or similar support service for advice and possible mediation. If no informal resolution is reached at the lowest unit level, a student may seek informal resolution at the collegiate level with the other party and higher level administrators. If the issue is not resolved informally, the student may seek formal resolution. The formal resolution policy and procedure is outlined on the U of MN Policy website.
