- Review the petition with your assigned academic advisor and obtain advisor approval and signature.
- Submit the petition to the department chairperson in which you are majoring for approval and signature.
- Return the petition for program exception form to the Dean's Office in Quinn 112. You will be sent an updated advising report documenting the program modification.
