Complaint Process

OSA is dedicated to enhancing the educational opportunities for students with disabilities at West Virginia University. Students who feel that they are not being accommodated appropriately in their classes, are encouraged to engage in our formal complaint process. Though students retain the right to file a formal complaint at any time, we often find that issues can be resolved quickly and directly with our involvement.

Stage 1: Meet with the Director

If you and/or your Accommodation Specialist have been unsuccessful in resolving an accommodation issue, please contact the Director of the Office of Student Accommodations so that we can assist in advocating on your behalf.

 Contact the Director

Stage 2: File a Complaint

If you remain unable to resolve your issue, even with the assistance of OSA leadership, the next stage would be to file a formal complaint with the Division of Campus Engagement and Compliance. 

 File a Complaint

Important Note

This process is only for addressing issues related to disability accommodation. 

If you are a Victim/Survivor of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation, as defined and prohibited by WVU Board of Governors Rule 1.6, you are encouraged to fill out a complaint with the Division of Campus Engagement and Compliance. If you are a Victim/Survivor of sexual assault, sexual violence or misconduct, domestic violence or misconduct, dating violence, stalking, and do not feel safe, please also call 911 immediately or contact the University Police Department at (304) 293-3136.

If you have a general (non-accommodation-related) concern about an assignment grade or course grade, please contact your faculty member or the leadership within that unit to discuss a grade appeal.
