Petitions for Exceptions to Academic Programs

Petitions
A student desiring an exception to the standard MBA requirements or academic procedures must file a written petition with the ASC explaining the nature of the request and reason for it. The Committee renders a decision on the petition and the student is informed accordingly.

If the student is dissatisfied with a decision of the ASC regarding an academic petition, he or she may submit these concerns in writing to the Committee, which will then either revise the initial decision or allow it to stand. Decisions of the Committee concerning academic programs will be final and nonappealable.

Course Add/Drop Procedure
The normal add/drop period for the School's courses is one(1) week after the start of the course. Adds and drops in the first week of the course is through the internal student system. Students whose petitions for late drops or adds are approved by the ASC will be assessed a $100.00 late course change fee.
