You can submit a complaint, objection or appeal to the Central Portal for the Legal Protection of Student Rights (CLRS).

At the University there are two organizations you can go to if you have a question regarding a confidential matter, complaint or appeal procedure.

• Confidential advisor
  The confidential advisor deals with discrimination, intimidation, aggression and violence.
• Student counsellor (log on the Student Portal)
  Student counsellors of the Student Service Centre know a great deal about study facilities, grants, study delays and possibilities for obtaining financial support.

The confidential advisor and the student counsellors sometimes deal with similar problems, but with a different emphasis. In some cases, you will be referred to someone else.
