Petitions

Petitions can be filed by students who are seeking a special exception from the regular University policies and procedures due to extenuating circumstances. Generally, they make changes to your academic transcript and/or your academic standing. Extenuating circumstances can include financial hardship, mental health concerns, family death or illness, or other personal situations which are out of your control and have a significant impact on your academic life.

Examples:

Adding or dropping a course after the deadline
Reconsideration of academic decisions, such as a ‘Required to Withdraw’ or ‘Failed’ standing
Changing numeric grades to a ‘Credit Received’ (CR) or a ‘No Credit Received’ (NCR) standing

Petitions fall under university policy 70.

WUSA recognizes that much of the work we do happens on the traditional territory of the neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. The land we work on is covered by the Between the Lakes Treaty, No. 3 (1792), and this region is still home to First Nation, Inuit, and Metis peoples from across Turtle Island. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work, play and live on this land and acknowledge that it is our collective responsibility to make our community and world a better place for all people. We acknowledge that educational institutions have not been a safe space for Indigenous students in the past and we continue to work to ensure that this is no longer the case. The work towards truth and reconciliation is ongoing, please do your part and take time to learn more:
