Petitioning Procedures Students may request a waiver of any of the procedures, rules, and regulations described in this document and appeal decisions based on these procedures, rules, and regulations. Such requests are to be submitted to the Department Chair and should take the form of a written document that presents the student's rationale for requesting the waiver or appealing a decision, accompanied by an evaluation of the request by the student's advisor or major professor. The Chair will examine the issue, seek advice from departmental committees as necessary, and make the final decision. These petitions will be approved only under highly extenuating circumstances. |
