Gen Pet/complete form

Completing the General Petition

Follow these steps to successfully complete your petition form.

Obtain the white form that has the title "Petition to the Faculty" from the Admissions office.

Section 1: Be sure to complete each item in the section box. Items include name, address, phone numbers, social security number, and major.

Section 2: Check the item in the list in which you are petitioning for and explain the reason you are petitioning. The item in the list entitled "other" is used for situations dealing with emergencies that may have affected a student's grades. You may attach additional pages and/or supporting documentation. Please note the * placed beside select items in the list; these tell you that you will need the signatures of both the instructor and the instructor's department head. Those that have ** mean you must obtain the course department head's signature, if the course is taught outside your major department.

Sections 4&5: Check to see what signatures you need by referring to the * or ** placed beside items in Section 2. If you are still not sure which signatures are needed, then complete both Section 4 and 5 just to save you time in the long-run.

Section 6: You must obtain the signature of the department head for your major. This is required before submitting to the Registrar's office.
