The Student Services Building (SSB) houses the Office o= f the Dean of Students, which offers many services for students. Below = are some of the services offered:
Students should always feel free to meet with faculty during their offic= e hours to discuss the research interests of either the student or the facu= lty member. It is a mutually beneficial process as faculty want and need to= conduct and publish research, and students need to be mentored in the rese= arch process. Students who join with faculty in research projects consisten= tly report benefits, particularly in completing their qualifying document a= nd doctoral dissertation.
Guidelines for authorship of publications that may result from research = collaboration are provided by the American Psychological Association=E2=80= =99s, Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct.

Graduate students have the right to seek redress of any grievance relate= d to their academic affairs. Students may seek to to resolve grievanc= es informally between the student and the faculty member most directly invo= lved or, such efforts failing, with the Graduate Adviser, the Chair of the = Graduate Studies Committee, and/or the Department Chair. Formal grievance p= olicies are detailed below.
A student in the Department of Educational Psychology has the right to p= etition the GSC, through the GSC Executive Committee, on matters relating t= o their academic progress, including requests for a leave of absence, waive= r of degree requirements, etc. To file a petition, you should first w= ork with your program Area Chair, who will need to obtain support of your r= equest from the Graduate Adviser, who will then petition the GSC Executive = Committee if the request is supported.
Students may also petition the Graduate Dean, through the EDP Graduate A= dviser, on matters related to Graduate School rules and policies. To file a= petition, first work with your program Area Chair, who will need to obtain= support of your request from the Graduate Adviser, who may then petition t= he Dean of Graduate Studies on your behalf, or may suggest an alternative r= esolution.
When serious issues cannot be resolved informally, the graduate student = will have recourse to further fo= rmal grievance procedures.
The University has numerous policies protecting the rights of students, = all covered in the General Information Catalog.
Relevant policy statements include:
Complaints related to non-academic issues (such as sexual or racial hara= ssment or sexual assault) are handled by the Office of the= Dean of Students.
Student employees (TAs, AIs, etc.) who have grievances should refer to t= he policies in the Handbook of Operating Procedures.
The Student Ombuds Services office serves = as a neutral third party providing assistance to students who have Universi= ty-related complaints of a non-legal nature. The Ombuds office is authorize= d to investigate grievances involving both academic and nonacademic concern= s and recommend corrective measures. Any case considered inapprop= riate may be declined by the Ombudsperson. Seeking assistance from the Stud= ent Ombuds Services office is most appropriate if remedies within the stude= nt=E2=80=99s area/program, Department, and Graduate School have been unsati= sfactory.
The University, in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act= of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, states that no ot= herwise qualified student shall be excluded solely on the basis of the disa= bility from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be su= bjected to discrimination under any academic program or activity. A student= with a disability may be protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act = (ADA) and be eligible for a reasonable accommodation that will provide an e= qual opportunity to meet the academic criteria related to professional beha= vior and scholastic performance.
Any otherwise qualified student with a protected disability who wishes t= o request a reasonable accommodation must notify the Disa= bility and Access office and provide documentation as needed. Disabilit= y and Access makes recommendations for accommodations and sends official ve= rifications to appropriate parties so that accommodations can be made.
Areas and programs in Educational Psychology will review academic perfor= mance criteria in light of individual student circumstances to explore issu= es of appropriateness and accommodation. An initial assessment, subsequent = plan, use of outside experts (including Disability and Access), and periodi= c checks between the area faculty and the student are appropriate courses o= f action in making accommodations.
When serious issues cannot be resolved informally, graduate students hav= e recourse to a formal= grievance procedure conducted as outlined below. It should be not= ed that the precise procedure to be followed in adjudicating a given grieva= nce will depend on the particular circumstances surrounding the case. Each = graduate student may express a grievance through the following procedures w= ith the assurance of timely and thorough consideration. Grievants are assur= ed freedom from reprisals for the filing of their grievances. A student mus= t initiate the complaint within six months of the acquisition of knowledge = of the grievance. All complaints must be submitted in writing.
First Level of Adjudication (if attempts described= above do not bring resolution): Graduate Studies Committee = strong>
Second Level of Adjudication: Office of the Vice President and D= ean of Graduate Studies
Third Level of Adjudication: Office of the President
In addition, complaints alleging sexual or racial harassmen= t or sexual assault should be addressed in accordance with th= e policies and procedures published in the General = Information Catalog.
