A petition is the official way to request action on academic matters that are not routine.
The petition serves as the written record of the action taken on a request and serves to
notify the petitioner, his or her faculty advisor, and the Registrar of the action taken.
Petitions should be neatly prepared, clearly stated, and must bear the endorsement of the
petitioner’s faculty advisor, or other appropriate faculty authority. Care must also be
taken to be sure that each copy is legible or the petition will be rejected.
Petitions are required for such purposes as:
1.
Amending a program of study by adding courses after the first three weeks of the
semester or dropping courses after the seventh week of classes (Please note: a
completed Add/Drop Form must also be submitted along with the petition for either
of these requests. Additionally, please include a note of support from the instructor if
you are petitioning to add a course after the third week of the semester);
2.
Amending a college curriculum requirement, such as substituting a course or a stated
sequence of courses in a degree-requirement area;
3.
Requesting an exception to a college academic policy based on extenuating
circumstances.
The petition should include convincing evidence that an exception is warranted. A clearly
stated petition has a better chance of approval than a poorly prepared one.
Petitions are reviewed on a regular basis. Students should allow at least 10 days for
processing. No action is finalized until the petition has been acted upon favorably and
fully processed.
PLEASE NOTE: A GRADE OPTION MAY NOT BE CHANGED AFTER THE FIRST
SEVEN WEEKS OF THE SEMESTER (FROM S/U TO LETTER GRADE OR VICE
VERSA) – BY PETITION OR OTHERWISE
PLEASE NOTE: A PETITION TO DROP A COURSE WILL BECOME INVALID IF A
STUDENT IS FOUND TO BE IN VIOLATION OF THE CODE OF ACADEMIC
INTEGRITY FOR THAT COURSE.
Unaffiliated students should submit petition to Engineering Registrar, 158 Olin Hall.
Affiliated students should check with their Major Department to determine where to
submit the petition.
MEng students should submit petition to Engineering Registrar, 158 Olin Hall.
