What is the difference between an academic feedback and a non-academic feedback?
Academic complaints relate directly to the academic experience. This may include concerns about a course, course content, an instructor, grading, or other academic requirements or expectations.
Non-academic fomplaints involve issues outside of course instruction or grading. These may include concerns involving another student, general student wellbeing challenges, a specific incident that may intersect with academic or co-curricular experiences, or broader concerns about a program, services, or the institution.
How and where can I file feedback?
Students can submit feedback by completing the online Complaint and Feedback Form. This form is the primary way to share concerns, feedback, or report an issue with the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health.
Once the form is submitted, it will be reviewed and routed to the appropriate office or staff member to ensure your concern is addressed. If you are unsure whether your concern is academic or non-academic, you can still submit the form and it will be directed to the correct person.
Where do I go if I need additional information about SPH Policy & Procedures?
You can visit our Policies & Procedures webpage for more information regarding policy guidelines and procedures outlined by both OHSU and PSU.
Is this process confidential?
Yes. Information submitted through the Complaint and Feedback Form is handled with care and shared only with the appropriate staff members responsible for reviewing and addressing the concern. Responses are kept as confidential as possible while still allowing the School to review the issue and take appropriate action.
In some situations, certain types of concerns (such as those involving discrimination, harassment, or threats to safety) may be required to be reported to the appropriate PSU and/or OHSU office so they can be addressed according to university policies.
Who should I contact if I have a financial aid question?
Financial aid questions are handled by the financial aid office at the university where you are matriculated.
- Graduate students should contact the OHSU Financial Aid Office for assistance.
- Undergraduate students should contact the PSU Financial Aid and Scholarships Office.
If you are unsure which office to contact, please review your student status or reach out to the appropriate financial aid office for guidance.
What should I do if I have questions or concerns about academic misconduct?
If you have questions about academic misconduct or need to report a concern, please submit the Student Complaint and Feedback Form. This form allows you to share information about potential academic integrity issues so they can be reviewed and addressed by the appropriate office.
Once submitted, your concern will be routed to the appropriate staff member for review and follow-up.
Where can I find support for wellbeing, food, funding, or shelter?
If you are looking for support related to basic needs (such as food assistance, financial support, housing resources, or wellbeing services) please visit our Meeting Basic Needs webpage.
This page provides information about available resources and services through both OHSU and PSU, as well as community resources that can help support students during times of need. If you are unsure where to start, the page can help guide you to the appropriate support services.
