What is a Petition?

A petition is a formal request for the waiver of a Faculty's regulation or deadline.  All Students have the right to petition for special consideration.

Petitions are processed and outcomes decided by a student's Home Faculty.  Each Faculty has a petition committee who review the requests and carefully consider the grounds of the petition and supporting documentation to either grant or deny the request.

Before initiating a petition, students are advised to review University and Faculty rules and regulations. Students must be able to identify the regulation or deadline that they are petitioning.
