MSIS Complaint Policy
It is the policy of the M.S. in Imaging Sciences program to work with students to find fair and equitable solutions to problems apart from those invoking the grievance procedures.
Step 1: The student should first take their problem or question to their course professor(s). Usually, the professor will have direct knowledge about the subject and is best qualified to resolve the situation.
Step 2: If the student and professor are unable to find a solution or answer within a reasonable amount of time, the student may then bring the matter to the attention of the Program Director or Director of Clinical Education. The student should feel free to discuss the matter fully.
Step 3: Should a satisfactory and impartial solution not result from Step 2, the student may pursue the matter through the Chair of the School of Health Professions.
