There are times when illness or injury requires students to adjust or restrict their ability to meet their academic requirements. It is the responsibility of the student to communicate to their instructors any medical need arising that does require an adaptation to their academic work. INMED encourages instructors to work with students to accommodate these requests. However, it is the prerogative of the instructor to determine if such accommodations can be made without neglecting the rigor of the objectives for the course. If emergent illness or injury has occurred the student may need to request, in writing, short-term absence. Short-term absence requests should be submitted through Questions & Concerns Online Form (available for logged in users).
INMED students who have a complaint about performance, action, or inaction of a member of the INMED staff, faculty, or representative affecting the student during the period of enrollment may engage this process for resolution:
Students shall direct complaints as soon as possible, but no later than fifteen (15) days since the date of event. Complaints must be submitted through the Complaints & Report Online Form. The person or persons who receive the complaint shall make every effort to resolve the problem fairly and promptly through a written decision to the student. If the interaction does not resolve the complaint/allegation, the student may submit in writing their complaint/allegation to the President’s Office. The President’s Office has ten business days to offer a resolution. If the student is dissatisfied with the resolution offered by the President’s Office, he/she may contact the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development for information on filing a formal grievance against the institution.
Career development opportunities may be shared through student communications and newsletters. Learners seeking additional professional development opportunities are encouraged to contact their advisor or the Office of Student Engagement.
Students may contact the Office of Student Engagement to suggest additional services, resources, or support opportunities.
