Academic Grievance Policy

Policy

On occasion, disputes arise between students and other members of the Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health community. The School encourages individuals involved in such disputes to resolve the matter directly between them. For those disputes that cannot be resolved informally, the University provides several avenues of redress for students and postdoctoral fellows who believe they have been adversely affected in their professional or educational activities as a result of an arbitrary or capricious act, or failure to act.  A grievance covered by these procedures is a complaint by a student or group of students alleging that they have been adversely affected in their capacity as students.

Students may use this process outlined on the University Academic Grievance Policy to seek resolution to a situation in violation of a Johns Hopkins University or Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health procedure or regulation by an instructor or other member of the faculty or School of Public Health administrator or body.

Some conduct is governed by other policies in the School or by the University at large.
