Academic regulations are established by the University to maintain and enforce academic standards and are adhered to rigorously. If special and unique circumstances occur, any individual student has the right to petition for a waiver of a regulation. The University has the right to turn down any petition on the grounds that the circumstances are not compelling enough to warrant an exception to that regulation.
To petition for an academic waiver of academic regulation, the student must do the following:
1. Consult with the Undergraduate Bulletin or Graduate Bulletin to be sure the student understands the academic policies and regulations.
2. Meet with the major advisor or chair to discuss your request.
3. Submit the petition package to the academic administrator in the Dean’s office of the student’s major.
Meet with the administrator when you submit the petition.
