Exception to Catalog Regulations

Petition Guidelines & Process

Students may petition to seek an Exception to specific academic rules or regulations.  Exception petitions are considered first by the student's College Exceptions Committee, then by the University Exceptions Committee.  Decisions made by the University Exceptions Committee are final.

Process for Exceptions Requests

STEP 1: Complete and sign the Exceptions Petition Form.  Please do not forget to include your one-page Justification Letter!  Details on this are included on the bottom of the Exceptions Petition form.  Petitions submitted without a justification letter are considered incomplete and will not be presented.

STEP 2: Complete and include any Addendums as required for your particular situation.  Additional information and further instructions regarding these topics can be found below.

Request to Late Add Course form

Request to Late Withdraw Course form

Request to Change a Credit/Audit form

STEP 3: Submit all documentation to the Business Student Success Center by the deadline (see deadlines below).  Forms may be submitted by mail, by email, or in-person.

STEP 4: The College Exceptions Committee and the University Exceptions Committee will rule on the request.

STEP 5: You will be notified or your results via 萝莉社 student email following the decision of the University Exceptions Committee.  Due to Federal Privacy Laws, we cannot release Exceptions Committee results over the telephone or to an email address other than your secure 萝莉社 student email.  If your 萝莉社 student email address is inactive, please visit: /services/its/userservices/HD_New/smail1.php.

Complete the online form, print, sign, and then submit your completed packet to the Business Student Success Center. The monthly deadlines for submission are below. Additional information regarding readmission, late withdraw, late add, or credit/audit can also be found below.
