Petitions 

The University has provided means for students to be granted exceptions to University policy. This allows students the chance to petition certain policies for non-academic reasons such as illness, military leave, family emergencies, etc.

Exceptions to policy include withdrawal from a course after the withdrawal deadline for the same term, retroactive withdrawal, retroactive registration, section change or cross-referenced course, late registration request, change in CR/NC status, retroactive change in credit hours, etc. This must always be done through the Dean's Office of the college of the student's major.

Have you taken a course at another institution that may qualify as a general education requirement at the U of U? If you are a CSBS Major, you can complete the General Education Course Petition Form below, and it will be reviewed by one of our CSBS General Education Liaisons. You can also contact undergraduate.advising@csbs.utah.edu for additional help.

Note: Courses can only be evaluated for admitted students to the U of U with the relevant transfer course posted on their Degree Audit. CSBS General Education Liaisons can evaluate transfer credits for all general education requirements at the U except for the following:

• Petitions for QL (Math) credit must be done through the Math department via the Math Transfer Course Evaluation Form.
• Petitions for LR (language) credit must be done through the Department of World Languages and Cultures.
• If you want to petition a course taken at the University of Utah that does not already have a general education designation, you can petition a U of U course here.
