Campuswide Exceptions
Petitions for an exception to a campuswide
graduate academic regulation must originate with the student. It must
be
processed through the graduate officer and dean or program director in
charge of the student's graduate degree
program and forwarded to the dean of the School of Graduate Studies.
Only the dean, or the
designated representative, are authorized to grant an exception to the
graduate academic regulations applying to all graduate students.
Petitions must be in writing and include (1) the
reason for requesting the exception and a detailed justification from
the student; (2) recommendation for action by
the appropriate graduate officer; (3) recommendation for action by the
department or division chair (if applicable);
and (4) recommendation for action by the appropriate dean or program
director. The graduate dean or designated representative will review
the petition and related documentation and render a decision which
will be communicated in writing to the academic dean or director, the
graduate officer, the student and the
registrar.
Program-Specific Exceptions
Petitions for exception to a program-specific
academic regulation are handled within the academic unit's degree
program. A graduate student who has petitioned for an exception to a
program-specific academic regulation and whose petition has been denied
may appeal the decision to the dean of
the School of Graduate Studies if all other remedies open to the
appellant have been exhausted at the department
and college, school or program level. Appeals to the dean of the School
of Graduate Studies must be made in
writing within 14 consecutive days from the date the student received
the written notice of the
petition decision. The dean of the School of Graduate Studies will
investigate the case and take appropriate
action in a timely manner. The decision of the graduate dean, as the
chancellor's designated representative, is final and will be
communicated in writing to the student, the graduate officer, the
academic dean or
director and the registrar.
