Schedule an Appointment/Contact Us
We want to hear from you
We will arrange a confidential meeting at a time convenient for you. It is helpful if you make an appointment, but you may drop by our office without an appointment and an ombudsperson will see you as soon as possible. We believe we can be most effective if we meet with you in person, but if you prefer, we will work with you over the telephone or via Skype or Zoom. You may also ask questions via e-mail, however we discourage you from sending any confidential information through e-mail. Retaliation for visiting the University Ombudsperson is prohibited.
How to talk with us or setup a meeting…
