Petition procedure for college-level regulations

A student may request a waiver of specific requirements of the college or substitution of courses in a business degree program by completing the RCB petition form and providing documentation/justification on a separate sheet of paper. Refer to the list below for the various categories of petitions which fall under the college's authority. You should submit a university-level petition if your request falls under the university's authority.

Students will receive a written response from the dean's designee normally within 15 work days from the date the petition is received. (Work days are counted Monday through Friday except university holidays.) No guarantee can be made that decisions on petitions will be made before registration if they are submitted close to the beginning of a registration period.
