Exceptions to Rules and Requirements

College of Engineering Undergraduate Policy

To request a waiver of an academic regulation or requirement, a petition must be submitted. The petition must clearly state what is being requested and the reason(s) for the request. Petitions should be discussed with the student’s faculty advisor and require the advisor’s recommendation and signature. Completed petitions must be submitted to the Undergraduate Records office. Submitted petitions are reviewed by both the department and the associate dean. Students are notified of the outcome, usually within four to six weeks. Unusual requests may take longer. Petition forms are available on the ENG Undergraduate Student Forms page.
