Resource Accordion
Please Note:
- The items on this page are a collection of policies, procedures, resources, and relevant offices relating to the types concerns that come to the Office of the Ombuds. There are two lists. You may need to look in both lists to find what you are looking for.
- Effectively addressing a concern often involves more than merely knowing the relevant policies and offices. It typically includes careful consideration of what you want to achieve and how the various available options would help you attain these goals. Please feel free to make an appointment to consult confidentially with the Campus Ombuds to consider your options for addressing your concern.
- This list is not exhaustive, and may not be fully up to date. Also, while we are familiar with the policies below, the Ombuds Office does not oversee them and is not the campus authority on their interpretation and application. The Ombuds Office is not an office of notice and does not receive formal complaints on behalf of the university. Please alert us of missing or inaccurate information, and notify us of broken links at: ombuds@ucr.edu
