Petitions

Late Withdrawal, Record Adjustment, and Refund Requests are all considered petitions that require extenuating circumstances and supporting documentation (see below).

Academic Renewal

The purpose of academic renewal is to assist students who have experienced a period of low GPA (for any reason). Students can use academic renewal to remove one semester of previous undergraduate coursework from their GPA. Students may petition the Registrar’s Office for academic renewal only one time during their enrollment at the University. Supporting documentation is not required! Students who are granted academic renewal are not eligible for academic honors status.

Academic renewal requests are submitted in the same place as other petitions, but do not require students to have a documented extenuating circumstance or provide documentation.
