Student Concerns
Incident Reporting
FIU has a centralized reporting website that guides you in sharing important information with university offices tasked with addressing and responding to student concerns, student and academic misconduct, discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment and sexual misconduct in the FIU community. To report an incident, go to https://report.fiu.edu/.
Academic Grievances
Charges of academic grievance may be brought against a faculty member, committee or department chair by a student.
The student must meet with the faculty member, chair or dean in order to settle the grievance informally via open and transparent processes of communication. After all means of informal resolution have been exhausted, the student can proceed to file a formal academic grievance with the Faculty Fellow for Academic Integrity.
