Examples may include but are not limited to medical/mental health circumstances and those of your family members, death of a family member, change in work schedule as mandated by your current employer, etc. Students should be able to show that the circumstances were beyond their control and that they occurred during the semester for which they are petitioning. We encourage students to include any documentation that may support their petition. This form is not meant for academic exceptions (ex. bypassing course prerequisites).
