Petition for Exceptions in SEAS
Greetings Engineering & Computer Science Students!
The courses in your study plans and the registration prerequisites for each course ensure that you’ll have the preparation for success.
Occasionally, you might seek to substitute a course or waive the prerequisite requirements of a course. In this case, you should first discuss your situation with you advisor. If your advisor recommends a petition, you may file one through the following process:
- Obtain support from the course instructor (for prerequisite waivers)
- Gather needed documentation, such as syllabi
- Fill out this online form, upload needed documentation, and submit the form
The form will be reviewed and a decision will be made rapidly, normally within two weeks from the date of submission. Please note that an instructor’s support would not automatically result in the approval of a petition.
Thank you and best wishes!
