Student Grievance Policy

All PA Medicine Students may file an academic grievance or complaint through the procedures listed in the Medical Students right and Responsibilities document found below. If you have any questions, please reach out to any member of the PA Medicine Faculty/staff or the MSU Ombudsperson office.

The rights and responsibilities of students enrolled in Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine (MSUCOM) are defined by the medical colleges of Michigan State University, including MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine, MSU College of Human Medicine, and MSU College of Veterinary Medicine. Students enrolled in the curricula of these colleges are identified as “medical students.” These colleges collectively define “Medical Students Rights and Responsibilities.”

This document which applies to MSU COM PA Medicine Students, addresses academic rights and responsibilities, governance, procedures for complaints, academic appeals, due process, and other topics. Article 5 Adjudication of Cases defines policy on Academic Grievances & Complaints.

The current Medical Students right and Responsibilities document is available on the MSU Spartan Experiences website.
