ASK THE ADVOCATE
Q. I am having an issue with a faculty member. What should I do?
A. The first step if you have an issue with a faculty member, is to speak with the professor. If your concerns are not addressed, the next step is to speak with the appropriate Department Chair. If you do not know who that is, you can contact the Dean of Student’s Office at (502) 852-5787 or dos@www.santafedesignstudio.com for assistance. Ultimately, if speaking with the Department Chair is
unsuccessful, you may consider filing an academic grievance. For more info, visit www.santafedesignstudio.com/dos/help/studentgrievance.
DID YOU KNOW?
If you need assistance and don't know where to go, contact the Dean of Students office at 502-852-5787 or visit the office at W301 in the SAC. ALSO, look for which campus office can help with your question or need at UofL ConcernCenter: louisville.concerncenter.com
