University General Petition Processing Procedure

Allow 8 to 10 weeks for the petition process during the Fall and Spring semesters.

After the petition process closes for the summer, petitions will not be accepted or processed until the beginning of the Fall semester.

Student takes completed petition along with attached documentation to the Dean of their college.
College Dean reviews the general petition, along with any supporting documentation, signs petition and gives a recommendation (for approval, for denial, or for consideration).
Dean forwards petition to the Office of Registration and Transcripts.
The Office of Registration and Transcripts will provide any additional documentation that may pertain to the petition (i.e. transcript, drop/add form, etc) and will forward the petition to the University Petitions Committee.
University General Petitions Committee members consider the recommendations of both the instructor and college Dean, review all supporting documentation, then give their decision (for approval, for denial).
Committee will notify student of final decision by email.
Completed general petitions are returned to the Office of Registration and Transcripts where they are processed and archived.
