Where to start when you have a problem?
It is a good idea to start by stating the problem and get in touch with the administration of the Faculty / Institute or University.
All appeals must be filed following the requirements of the Law of Ukraine on Citizens' Appeals.
Appeals are submitted in the electronic or handwritten form to the General Department of the University (office 163-1, kanc[at]kpi.ua and mail[at]kpi.ua), where they must be registered and submitted for consideration to persons competent to advise on appeal issues.
The term for consideration of appeals is also regulated by the requirements of the Law of Ukraine on Citizens' Appeals (maximum 30 days). The responses to the application are provided in writing to the applicant’s address specified in the application.
Do commissions consider anonymous reports about conflicts, problems in education covered on social networks? Of course, commissions work on such appeals - they find out the circumstances and grounds for such complaints. If the situation covered is credible, they take necessary measures valid in this situation. Don’t forget, such an appeal is not official so, accordingly, there are no official responses.
The Department for Student Affairs regularly communicates with students at various events and aims at explaining the nuances of training and social interaction within the University.
