Student Conduct and CareWho can submit a report of Non-Academic Misconduct?
Students, staff, and faculty at Queen’s University may submit a report of Non-Academic Misconduct (NAM) using the information below. Only those reports assessed as within the scope of the Student Code of Conduct (the Code) are referred to a NAM Unit. If your report is referred, you may receive a request to meet with a Case Manager regarding your report.
While anonymous complaints may be received, ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ will have a limited ability to respond to such complaints.
