Complaints about harassment, sexual harassment and aggressive, violent or discriminatory behaviour

Complaints of this type are best discussed with the University of Groningen Confidential Advisor. Such cases are referred to as ‘reports to the Confidential Advisor’ rather than official complaints to the Central Portal for the Legal Protection of Student Rights.

If you want, you can lodge an official complaint with the Central Portal for the Legal Protection of Student Rights.

More information can also be found on the Contact point for reporting undesirable behaviour page on the Student Portal.

You can lodge your complaint online with the Central Portal for the Legal Protection of Student Rights, or submit it in writing to:

University of Groningen
Central Portal for the Legal Protection of Student Rights (CLRS)
P.O. Box 72
9700 AB Groningen.

Complaints cannot be lodged anonymously, but every complaint will be treated as confidential.

Your complaint will be forwarded to the appropriate body or official for processing – the Central Portal for the Legal Protection of Student Rights (CLRS) will let you know immediately where it has been sent. You will receive notification within 4 to 10 weeks depending on the applicable complaints procedure.

Information about submitting a different type of complaint can be found on the Submit complaint, objection and appeal page.
