To report discrimination, harassment, sexual misconduct, or related retaliation, please make a Civil Rights and Title IX Report. 

If you would like to let us know about other kinds of issues that occurred in an Allen School course, please proceed as follows:

• In many cases, the first course of action is to send the course instructor email. If that does not suffice, you may email the undergraduate advisers (ugrad-adviser@cs.washington.edu) and/or Vice Director Dan Grossman (djg@cs.washington.edu) directly. You should expect an answer within 2-4 business days.
• You can provide feedback via feedback.cs.washington.edu. By default, this feedback goes to the course instructor, but you may add members of the Allen School academic and advising leadership and/or remove the instructor. This feedback is processed within 2-4 business days.If you would like a reply, please email people directly instead of using the form because the form will not include your name, and so we have no way of getting back to you.
• Additional information about reporting concerns can be found on the College of Engineering’s Resource webpage.
