Faculty and institutional ombuds offices
In case of a dispute with a teacher, you can take up most problems and complaints with the ombuds offices of your faculty. If this is not possible, you can call on the institutional ombudsperson for further mediation. In addition, the Institutional Appeals Committee is a third important actor in handling complaints.
