Graduate Petition for Retroactive Course Changes
(Graduate Petition for Late Change of Program)
If a student feels that serious and compelling circumstances clearly beyond the his/her control prevented fulfillment
of academic obligations, s/he may request to retroactively add or withdraw from a course(s) after the semester has ended
by submitting a Graduate Petition for Retroactive Course Changes to the Graduate Division. This form is available at
the Registrar's office or the Graduate Division; it is not available online.
The Graduate Petition for Retroactive Course Changes requires the approval and signatures of the instructors of the courses involved, and the approval and signature of the graduate adviser if the student is classified or conditionally classified. The form should be submitted to the Graduate Division when all signatures are secured. Supporting documentation must accompany the Petition to the Graduate Division.
If approved, the Registrar's office requires the student to pay a processing fee to the Cashiers Office. Note: Students should be aware that the University policy permits approval of this Petition only if the petitioner can demonstrate that serious and compelling circumstances clearly beyond the student's control prevented fulfillment of academic obligations. Supporting documentation is required.
