Academic Petitions

Academic Petition Form(94K | 1 pg)

University of Indianapolis students have the privilege of submitting petitions requesting special permission for exceptions to regulations and policies. These petitions are considered by the Academic Petitions Committee, a standing faculty committee that meets once each month, usually on the second Tuesday. All student petitions are considered on an individual basis, with attention being given to the student’s academic record and the reason for the request. Student petition forms must be submitted to the receptionist in the Office of the Registrar by the 25th of the month for review the following month.

Students who have been declared academically ineligible have the privilege of submitting petitions requesting permission to return to the university after an absence of one regular semester (Semester I or II). These petitions for readmission must be submitted to the Academic Petitions Committee. Petitions for readmission should be submitted to the receptionist in the Office of the Registrar by the 25th of the month for review the following month.

Please provide the following:

1. An exact statement of the special privilege, exemption, or other petition you want to make.
2. A statement of the reasons for your request. Include any pertinent facts or supporting documents that might help the committee make a decision (e.g. course syllabi, catalog descriptions, program descriptions).
3. Your signature, complete address, and telephone number.
4. The appropriate signatures and recommendations. (See below.)
5. Letters of support (optional).
