Claremont Graduate University (CGU) is committed to providing a valued learning experience for our students and we appreciate the opportunity to enhance that experience. Should an issue be brought to our attention, CGU will take appropriate action to seek resolution. Students are encouraged to pursue our internal resolution process for any complaints before contacting external state sources for resolution.

CGU students are encouraged to first speak to their faculty member if they have an academic issue. If an issue cannot be resolved at that level, a student may contact the academic department for information on how to proceed. The Grievance Policy is located here: http://bulletin.cgu.edu/content.php?catoid=16&navoid=2092

If the issue involves an allegation of academic dishonesty, please review the Academic Honesty Policy which is located at: http://bulletin.cgu.edu/content.php?catoid=13&navoid=1510&hl=grievance&returnto=search#academic-honesty
