If you want to give opinions or make complaints, you should first contact the teacher concerned. If you do not receive an answer or do not want to accept the answer, you can turn to other responsible parties according to this order:

  • Course responsible teacher
  • Examiner
  • Program responsible teacher (if you are studying in a program)
  • Head of subdivision at the department that provides the course or program

To find the right person, see the university's organization (click on each department's page on management). You can also ask in the Service Center.

If for some reason you cannot or do not want to turn to those responsible at the department, you have the opportunity to receive support from the Student Union at University West.
