The committee will take action only
upon the submission of a formal petition
by the student that sets forth the facts and
circumstances that may warrant special
consideration.
The Petitions Committee does not make
decisions pertaining to substitutions
for undergraduate and graduate major
requirements. Such requests are initi-ated
through the student’s department.
Requests to waive established university
policy governing graduate study may be
addressed to the dean, Division of Gradu-ate
Studies. If a request cannot be accom-modated,
it is forwarded to the Graduate
Committee.
