Students 

Students can object to decisions made by the Executive Board, for example about their enrolment or about paying tuition fees. The Executive Board then submits the objections for advice to an independent committee, the Arbitration Committee for Student Objections

Appeals made by students against decisions of examination boards, examiners, binding study advice (BSA) committees and admission committees are heard by the Examination Appeals Board

Complaints about undesirable behaviour are handled by the Complaints Committee.

Staff 

Employees can submit disputes with the employer to the Arbitration Committee for Members of Staff. Such disputes must relate to one of the subjects mentioned in the regulation on disputes. The Arbitration Committee for Members of Staff will issue written recommendations to the Executive Board.

Complaints about undesirable behaviour are handled by the Complaints Committee.
