There are a number of ways feedback can be given including through your personal/research supervisor, module evaluation questionnaires, focus groups or staff/student committees.
We recognise that sometimes things can go wrong and when they do we want to address your concerns as soon as possible. There are a number of channels you can use to resolve your problems and we encourage you to raise your concerns.
A good starting point would be to approach your Personal supervisor or you can raise a complaint through the Hubble Centre.
Raising a complaint
You can submit a complaint through the Complaint Stage 1 Form. Your complaint will be received by the Hubble Team, who will make sure it reaches the right team or department to be investigated at a local level. You can also visit the Hubble Centre on the first floor of Student Central, or call 01482 462222. If you need independent support or guidance you can visit the Hull University Union Advice Centre.
Complaints Procedure
As a student of the University of Hull you have the right to complain if you are dissatisfied with any aspect of your learning experience or other services received. The University defines a complaint as:
An expression of dissatisfaction by one or more students about a university’s action or lack of action, or about the standard of service provided by or on behalf of the university.
Your complaint must be raised within three months of the date on which the event complained about occurred, or on which you could reasonably be expected to have known about the matter.
The Complaints Procedure has been designed to ensure that your complaint is handled as fairly, consistently and as quickly as possible. A summary of the complaints procedure for students is available here, which should be referred to alongside the full text of the Regulations, which can be downloaded here.
Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education (OIA)
Ultimately, if your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction you have the right to take your complaint to the OIA, an independent body established under the Education Act 2004. Provided you have exhausted the University’s internal procedures you will be issued with a Completion of Procedures Letter which will include information about how to complain to the OIA. Further information about the OIA scheme can be obtained from the OIA website
