Academic Inquiries

As you continue your progress in the College of Education & Human Development you will interact with a number of Mizzou representatives who are here to support your experience.

Together, our goal is to ensure that you have a positive experience. However, sometimes situations arise that may be concerning to you. As a student, it is your responsibility to acknowledge and respond to such situations as they arise. The majority of concerns arise due to misunderstandings with college faculty or staff. Begin with meeting with that individual to share your concern. If the concern is not addressed through this discussion, contact the individual below for further assistance, beginning with the first person listed. If the response you receive does not address your concern fully, please contact the next person on the list.
