Petition for Reconsideration is a method by which an individual may administra­tively appeal a decision because of extenuating circumstances, believed to be inequitable.

 

All petitions must be submitted to the Registrar's Office in order to facilitate tracking of petitions. The Registrar's Office will forward the petition to the appropriate person(s) and schedule a meeting with the individual(s) petitioned, who will make the decision regarding the request. All parties involved will be notified of the decision. If after receiving the results the petitioner still believes the decision is inequitable, a new petition may be filed to the next level of authority until it reaches the President, at which point the result of the petition process is final.

 

Students are expected to provide strong, documented evidence that extenuating circumstances exist within the petition. Students will be held accountable for misusing the petition process.
