Petition for Simultaneous Enrollment
Students who wish to enroll in courses with a time conflict during Autumn, Winter, or Spring Quarter must submit a Petition for Simultaneous Enrollment. Petitions should be submitted during the add/drop period for the relevant quarter. For more information, students should consult the College Catalog and discuss with their Academic Adviser.
Petition for a Course Overload
Students who wish to enroll in over 400 units in Autumn, Winter, or Spring Quarter must submit a Petition for a Course Overload (i.e., 5th course petition). Petitions should be submitted during the add/drop period for the relevant quarter. For more information, students should consult the College Catalog and discuss with their Academic Adviser.
This form is for students who wish to request a grade of Incomplete in a course. Students are eligible to request an Incomplete if they have 1. participated actively in the course, 2. completed the majority of the requirements with work that is of a passing quality, and 3. made satisfactory arrangements with the instructor to complete the remaining work. For more information, visit the Incompletes page.
Additional Quarter of Enrollment Petition
Students who have exhausted their originally allotted quarters of enrollment and are seeking approval to enroll in an additional Autumn, Winter, or Spring Quarter must submit an Additional Quarter of Enrollment Petition. Petitions should be submitted during the student's fourth year, when they are able to demonstrate the additional term is necessary for fulfillment of their degree requirements. For more information, students should consult the College Catalog and discuss with their Academic Adviser.
In advance of your leave of absence appointment, you may fill out this form to bring with you. Learn more about our Leaves of Absence policies on the Taking Time Away webpage.
Students who have been withdrawn from the College or who have been on leave of absence for more than 8 quarters, except as otherwise provided for in this policy (see Leaves of Absence) are required to submit a completed Petition to Resume Studies along with supporting materials eight weeks prior to the start of the quarter of intended return. The petition will be reviewed by the Committee on the Resumption of Studies, which will exercise reasoned judgment in deciding whether the resumption of studies is appropriate. The results of the review will be timely communicated in writing to the student upon completion of the review. The College is not obliged to approve student resumption petitions. The decision of the Committee on the Resumption of Studies is final and unreviewable.
In cases where a student’s leave involves medical conditions, the resumption of studies is contingent upon the condition being resolved or managed successfully. In order to protect the student’s privacy, the Dean of Students (or designee) will consider germane medical and other information available, including information provided in a timely manner by the student, before the petition is forwarded to the Academic Standing Committee. See the Resuming Studies webpage for more information. Upon return, students are expected to complete the requirements for the degree without further interruption.
