Petitions for Exceptions

Campuswide Honors students who have unexpected or unusual academic planning problems that do not allow them to follow/complete the normal honors curriculum plan, or those who need an exception to stated honors requirements or policy, may file a petition for special consideration.  Some examples of petitions include: conflict with required major course, study abroad for a quarter, etc.

Petitions are not guaranteed to be approved. Petitions will not be granted based on failure to register for an honors course or departure from the honors curriculum requirements without approval
