Academic Exceptions Petition

Academic Exceptions Policy

The academic exception petition process is designed to accommodate students with extenuating circumstances or emergencies beyond their control that may impact their academic records

Petition reviews may be requested for situations such as dropping or withdrawing from courses after the published deadlines.

  • Petitions must be submitted within 90 days of the academic term for which the student is requesting an exception to academic policy. This process is designed to assist students facing extenuating circumstances or emergencies beyond their control that may affect their academic records.

  • The standard for students petitioning for a late drop or withdrawal exception is:
    Did an extenuating situation exist that prevented the student from acting for themselves to drop or withdraw from the courses being petitioned by the established academic deadline(s).

  • Only school academic policies can be appealed; federal guidelines and/or requirements are not subject to this process.
