Waiver of Catalog Requirements

Under certain extenuating circumstances, it may be necessary to waive, or modify, program or institutional requirements for graduation, as they are described in the college catalog. The procedure for requesting a waiver or course substitution is as follows:

1. A petition form must be completed by the student, with the assistance of an academic adviser.
2. All supporting documentation (transcripts, degree intent, related petitions, correspondence, rationale, etc.) must be attached to the petition.
3. Petitions requesting a program change will be reviewed and recommended by the adviser and appropriate dean.
4. Petitions requesting a modification of institutional requirements or transfer of credits will be forwarded to the Registrar for approval.
5. All petitions, including supporting documentation, must be sent to the Vice President for Learning and Student Services. The Vice President for Learning and Student Services will determine final disposition.
