Instructions for Submitting Petition for Degree Requirements

Petition for Degree Requirements Online Portal

If you need to initiate a course substitution or waiver, please contact your Academic Advisor. All requests will need to be submitted by your academic advisor through the online portal to officially petition for review of your degree requirements. 

Your Academic Advisor will follow these 4 easy steps (taking course substitution for example) to initiate the process:

  • Step 1: Fill the basic information
  • Step 2: Enter course substitution
  • Step 3: Upload supporting documentation
  • Step 4: Verify department chair or designee and submit 
After the request is submitted, students will be able to see the request by logging into the Petition for Degree Requirements Portal. The request will be displayed under “My Requests” Tab with all the detailed information, including the full workflow path. Current pending approver can be viewed from the View Detail page.

Waiver requests are similar to that of course substitutions with a little variation, but can easily be completed following the same steps.
