The Clark School of Engineering takes requests for exceptions to policy extremely seriously. We will consider exceptions to academic policy only in "rare and extraordinary circumstances."
Exceptions to Policy submissions are typically reviewed on Tuesdays and Thursdays during a regular semester and once a week during the summer and the winter terms. An Exception to Policy request can take between 3-15 business days to be processed. Requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. It is the student’s responsibility to take whatever actions necessary in the event the request is not approved.
Be sure to select the exception to policy request that best describes the situation. It is important that students complete and submit all required and pertinent information necessary to review the petition. A lack of a thorough explanation and supporting documentation may lead to a delay in receiving a decision.
Exceptions to policy requests are reviewed by a committee in order to ensure our commitment to limiting biases and allow for as much objectivity as possible. In order to achieve this, committee members are rotated on a regular basis.
Students are notified via email when the request has been completed.
