Petitioning for Exceptions

Exceptions to scholastic regulations may be petitioned to the Undergraduate Petitions Committee. Petition forms are available in most academic department offices and in the Office of the Registrar. These forms are filed in the Registrar's office.

Students petitioning to drop a class with a grade of W or completely withdraw from a quarter must submit the petition to the registrar's office before the end of the quarter in which the withdrawal is requested. Petitions submitted after the quarter has ended will, if approved, remove only the hours and points from the student's GPA. In this case, the course and original grade will remain a part of the student's record. Students should consult with their academic advisor before submitting a petition.
