Reporting Issues or Concerns

What is it? Maxient is a software program utilized by U.S. higher education institutions to track and record trainee behaviors (i.e. student discipline, academic integrity, care and concern records, Title IX matters, or just an “FYI”).

Why is it useful? Maxient has centralized reporting and record keeping that will help us connect the dots and prevent students from falling through the cracks by helping us identify students in distress and coordinate the efforts of various departments to provide follow-up.

How will ORE Use Maxient? We have created an ORE Maxient Form for students, faculty, and staff to share any concern or report any type of issue or concern about oneself or others. Once submitted, the form will be routed to the corresponding Program Director and Program Administrator for follow up. If an individual prefers NOT to notify the program, they may select "ORE" from the Program list and the form will instead be routed to the ORE Assistant Dean for Student Affairs.

Student travel awards are available from the Graduate School. Funds are provided from an endowment entitled the “C. Werner and Kitty Hirs Graduate Student Enrichment Fund” made to the University of Colorado Foundation for the use by the Graduate School at the Anschutz Medical Campus.
