Processing a General Petition

• Student picks up the general petition form.
  
• Student fills out form legibly and completely.
  
• Student obtains any required supporting documentation and attaches it to the petition.
  
• Student obtains all required instructor's signatures on the petition.
  • This may require meeting with the course instructor to discuss the nature of the petition.
• Once all the necessary signatures are obtained, the student leaves the petition with the college dean.
  
• College dean receives the general petition, reads it along with any supporting documentation, and gives a recommendation (for approval, for denial, or for consideration).  
  
• Petitions signed by the college dean are forwarded to the Curriculum and Registration Office.
  
• Curriculum and Registration Office will research and provide any additional documentation that may pertain to the petition (i.e. transcript, drop/add form, etc). 
  
• Upon completing the research, the Curriculum & Registration Office will send the petition to the University Petitions Committee for review and ultimately a final decision.
  
• University Petitions Committee members receive petitions, consider the recommendations of  both the instructor and college dean, review all supporting documentation, then give their decision (for approval, for denial).  
  • The University Petitions Committee's decision on reviewed petitions is final.
• All reviewed petitions are sent to the Curriculum & Registration Office.
  
• The Curriculum & Registration Office will process all reviewed petitions and notify the student of the Committee's final decision.  Notification of the Committee's decision will be emailed to the student.
• The Curriculum & Registration Office is the depository of reviewed petitions.
