Who can submit a report of Non-Academic Misconduct?
If you are a student, staff, or faculty at Queen’s University, you may submit a report of Non-Academic Misconduct (NAM) using the information below. Only those reports assessed as within the scope of 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, Queen's will have a limited ability to respond to such complaints.
Reports received from general members of the public are typically not resolved through the NAM system. General members of the public may submit reports of misconduct to local authorities or to Campus Security and Emergency Services.
