Appeals Process

An appeal may be filed by any student served by Student Accessibility Services (SAS) at the University of Northern Iowa who believes a decision has adversely affected their delivery of services. An appeal will not result in retaliation or barriers to services.

Appeals should be discussed and resolved as soon as possible following the incident. At times, however, the consequences of decisions, actions, issues or concerns are not immediately evident or realized. Therefore, students are not limited as to when grievances or appeals may be filed.

Procedure

  • Discuss the concern with the SAS staff member who made the decision.

  • If the issue or concern cannot be resolved with the staff member involved, schedule an appointment with the Dean of Students who will discuss the issue with the persons involved and render a decision.
