STUDENT CONCERNS
Students are encouraged to resolve the issue with the appropriate faculty or staff
member. For academic concerns, this should begin with the instructor. If the student
is not comfortable discussing directly with the instructor, the student may initiate
the concern with the appropriate department chair. If the instructor is the current
department chair, the student may initiate the concern with the appropriate instructional
dean. For non-academic concerns, the student should bring the issue to the director
of Student Life for assistance in identifying the appropriate contact. For assistance
in identifying the appropriate faculty or staff member, contact the Office of Student
Life, 541-383-7590.
COMPUTER LAB SURVEY
Take the computer labs short survey (runs through Jan. 19) and be sure to include your email to be entered into a coffee
shop gift card drawing.
