Academic Petition for Exception

Students may petition for exception to certain university academic regulations when serious and compelling reasons exist. It should be noted, however, that academic regulations contained in Title 5, California Administrative Code, cannot be waived by petition.

Before filing a petition, students must first speak with the designated representatives in the College associated with their request. Only in cases where no alternate means of resolution is available should a student then file a petition. All petitions include a processing fee which will be charged to the student. Requests must be stated clearly and accompanied by supporting documentation. Students are notified of decisions via email to their ToroMail account.
