Preamble
توفر هذه السياسة مساراً واضحاً لحل المشكلات الأكاديمية والمالية والتقنية والسلوكية والمتعلقة بالخصوصية، مع حماية صاحب الطلب من الانتقام.
Article 1: Types of requests
- Inquiry or support: Requesting information or a simple technical solution.
- Complaint: An objection to a service, behavior, or delay.
- Grievance: An objection to an administrative, academic, or financial impact.
- Appeal: Request to review a final announced decision.
- Mediation: Attempting a consensual solution when it suits the nature of the conflict.
Article 2: Channels
The application is submitted via the account or [email protected]. It shows the name or reference number, the decision or incident, the date, the required solution, and the available documents.
Article 3: Accessibility
No complex template is required to accept the application, and reasonable assistance in drafting it or an alternative channel is provided in accordance with POL-17. It may be submitted by an authorized representative.
Article 4: Confirmation of receipt
Receipt is confirmed within two working days whenever the application is individual and technically complete, with a reference number and a statement of deficiencies, if any.
Article 5: Early resolution
It is permissible to begin a direct attempt at a solution, but the aggrieved person is not forced to communicate with the person against whom he complains about an incident of harassment, danger, or conflict of interest.
Article 6: Jurisdiction and referral
The application is referred to the appropriate job authority. If it is related to privacy, security, or behavior, the specialized path is applied without obligating the applicant to resubmit the application.
Article 7: Integrity and independence
Whenever possible, the final review is not limited to the person who made the first decision. Discloses conflicts of interest and replaces references when needed.
Article 8: The right to knowledge and response
The requester is informed of the status of the file, and the person affected by the allegation is given a fair opportunity to respond, while data and functional confidentiality are protected.
Article 9: Target deadlines
- Minor errors: five working days;
- Completed applications that require review: fifteen business days;
- Complex cases: notification of the extension, its reason, and the estimated duration.
These deadlines do not affect a shorter legal deadline.
Article 10: Interim measures
Implementation of an irreversible effect may be halted, or an interim arrangement may be provided, if this is necessary and proportionate. The interim measure does not assume a final result.
Article 11: Decision
The decision shall be in writing and shall state the basic facts, the applied policy, the result and correction, and the method and duration of appeal, if available.
Article 12: Appeal
It is submitted within ten working days of reaching the decision, unless a mandatory provision or notice of the decision specifies a more protective period. It shows an error of fact, procedure, or application, or new evidence that could not be presented previously.
Article 13: Mediation
It shall be voluntary, neutral and confidential to the extent possible. It is not a sole alternative when it comes to a safety risk, a mandatory right, or a serious violation that requires a decision.
Article 14: Protection from retaliation
An application made in good faith does not affect the registration, outcome, support or documentation. Retaliation is a separate offense.
Article 15: Malicious communication
An applicant who submits an inadmissible or unsubstantiated request shall not be punished simply because of the result. Bad faith is not considered unless there is independent evidence of intentional fabrication or abusive use.
Article 16: Privacy and Record
Access is limited to those who need it for solution and review. The request and decision history is kept as POL-20 and the applicable internal control, with sensitive data separated whenever possible.
Article 17: Third parties and legal rights
This policy does not prevent resorting to a competent regulatory, judicial, consumer protection or data protection authority. The Academy shall clarify, where necessary, the contracting authority and the applicable law without derogating from the mandatory rules.
Article 18: Reports and Improvement
Review trends in bulk to fix recurring causes without revealing the identity of complainants in unnecessary quality reports.
Article 19: Communication
Official mail: [email protected]. The applicant shall keep a copy of his letter and reference number.
