How can I complain to the university?

Guidance on submitting a complaint about the university.

Any current student  can submit a formal complaint about any aspect of University life; teaching or supervision, a service provided by the University or behaviour of staff or other students. You will need to be specific and provide evidence of the issues you have faced. 

Previous students are able to submit complaints about their experience while at university, within 3 months of leaving/ graduating/ withdrawing from their course. 


To submit a complaint you will need to complete the Student Concerns form which can be found on the university website here: https://www.shu.ac.uk/myhallam/university-life/university-rules-and-regulations/appeals-and-complaints/complaints/student-complaint-procedure 


You can read more about the University’s complaints procedure on their website: https://www.shu.ac.uk/myhallam/university-life/university-rules-and-regulations/appeals-and-complaints/complaints/student-complaint-procedure


There is also advice and guidance available on the Student’s Union website: https://www.hallamstudentsunion.com/support/academic/article/6013/Complaints/
