University of the Punjab highly values quality of Education and delivery of its academic and administrative services for the benefit of our youth. Office of Directorate of Students Affairs plays a pivotal role to bring the Students and Academia in close alignment. Students Affairs provides a wide variety of educational services, as well as artistic, athletic, and cultural programs, along with non-academic services to students. As a service organization, the University values high quality in the delivery of all of its academic and administrative services for students benefit. Occasionally, a student may feel that the treatment they have received is not consistent with expectations based upon the University’s official procedures. In these cases, the University desires to have a clearly defined path for students to express their complaints in a manner that will provide documentation and accountability within the institution for providing a timely response and resolution.
Directorate of Students Affairs has initiated a Complaint Portal for student’s facilitation on its website. Its purpose is to facilitate our students in directing their concerned queries and complaints towards the concerned departments.
