activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

Consistent with CGA’s Uniform Complaint Procedures (“UCP”), a complaint alleging unlawful
discrimination, harassment, intimidation, or bullying must be filed no later than six (6) months
from the date when the alleged unlawful discrimination, harassment, intimidation, or bullying
occurred or the complainant first obtained knowledge of it. The time for filing may be extended
by CGA for good cause upon written request from the complainant.
A report or complaint regarding sexual harassment as defined under the Title IX regulations is
not subject to the six-month timeline in the UCP.
 
How are discrimination complaints investigated?
Complaints of sexual harassment filed with CGA are investigated in accordance with CGA’s
