Petitions for Consideration of Exception to Policy

This information only applies to Price College of Engineering students. If your major is not a part of the PCE program, please visit this website to find your point of contact for the petitioning process.

Are you seeking to:

  • Withdraw from class(es) past the withdrawal deadline for a current or previous term*
  • Elect or Revoke CR/NC*
  • Add class(es) for a past term
  • Change credit hours for a past term
  • Section Change for a past term

*The University provides processes for students who have a non-academic, well-documented emergency such as illness, military leave, family emergencies, etc that has interfered with their ability to complete classes. These processes are outlined in the Student Handbook.

Please realize that withdrawals can affect and perhaps jeopardize other areas of your academic life such as Financial Aid, Scholarships, VA Benefits, Grants, Loans, Visa Status and Residential living contracts. Should any of these instances apply to you, we encourage you to contact these offices to discuss any potential ramifications of your petition request.
