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, or administrator). You 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, you may seek informal resolution at the collegiate level with the other party and higher level administrators. If the issue is not resolved informally, you may seek formal resolution.
