General Petition Checklist -- Extension of time on Incomplete Grade

This checklist is a guide to help identify what information needs to accompany the general petition, according to the type of extension requested (one year extension for "I" grade, or extension of time after the one year allowed has lapsed).

Note:  Petitions are considered on an individual basis.  Supporting documentation is very important for the approval of the petition, but it does not guarantee approval.  However, failure to submit the requested documentation along with the General Petition form will delay the processing and may affect the outcome of the general petition.
