Petitions should be submitted to the Committee on Academic Policies and Procedures through the Faculty Advisor. Petitions should be submitted in the form of a letter addressed to the student’s Faculty Advisor or the Committee on Academic Policies and Procedures.  Petitions should include the specific request, a complete explanation of why the request is being made, and must include supporting documentation to justify why the petition should be granted.  Petition letters attached to Institute emails are acceptable.
