Guidelines for Revision of Records
There are two situations in which revision of records petition might be appropriate.
1. Student performance in courses was adversely impacted by unexpected circumstances, such as an illness, injury, or family emergency.
a. Students will need to provide medical or other third-party documentation to verify that the unexpected circumstances occurred.
b. Students will need to demonstrate that the unexpected circumstances were the cause of their poor academic performance.
c. It is highly unusual for the committee to approve petitions for only selected courses within a given semester.
2. Administrative error in registering or withdrawing from a course, or courses.
a. Students will need to provide documentation of the administrative error. For example, instructor or chair’s confirmation that the student registered for an incorrect course section.
