Students may petition to have an academic requirement modified. Before submitting a petition, a student should meet with the student’s advisor and/or the Office of the Registrar to consider ways of fulfilling the requirement without the need for modification. If that is not possible, the student may obtain a petition form from the Office of the Registrar. This form should be filled out online, printed, given to the advisor for the advisor’s signature, and returned to the Office of the Registrar. The Subcommittee on Petitions and Appeals reviews the petition and approves or denies the request. The subcommittee’s decision is final.
