To ensure that student-related concerns are properly addressed and receive appropriate action, students are encouraged to bring their complaints and grievances to the proper office or forum.
The Office of Student Affairs and Services (OSAS) recognizes every student's right to express opinions, share experiences, and raise concerns.
We aim to promote awareness, build confidence in the process, and encourage the proper reporting and resolution of concerns. Understanding how matters are handled helps ensure that students know where to seek assistance and that their concerns can be addressed through the appropriate channels.
