Policy
Students may petition for exception to certain university academic regulations when unusual circumstances exist. It should be noted, however, that academic regulations contained in Title 5, California Code of Regulations, cannot be waived by petition. Before filing a petition, students must first speak with the designated representatives in the School or College associated with their request. Only in cases where no alternate means of resolution is available should a student then file a petition.
How to File a Petition for Exception
The Petition for Exception form is obtained and submitted at the School or College office. There is a $10.00 fee that must be paid at the Cashier's Office. Requests must be stated clearly and accompanied by supporting documentation. Students are notified of decisions by Campus email.
