When to Submit

Students will use the Petition for Exception to Registration Form when requesting registration/schedule adjustment transactions to their class schedule after published University deadlines for the class(es). Access the Detailed Class Search from the Schedule of Classes. After locating the course, click on the "Registration Deadlines" link to determine course-specific dates.

Submit Your Petition

Be sure to thoroughly review the petition requirements and carefully complete your forms. Be certain that you submit all the critical documentation.

Thereafter, be certain to check in with these other offices because this request and decision could impact other information related to your student record and future opportunities and financial obligations.

Advising 

We strongly encourage students to discuss their academic progress and options with their academic advisors. We also encourage students to communicate any questions, concerns or options regarding coursework with their instructors.

Financial Aid

If you are a recipient of financial aid and scholarships, we advise that you contact the Financial, Billing and Enrollment Center to discuss any implications if this petition is approved. Approval may affect current and future financial aid awards. It could result in repayment of financial aid received. It may also affect your eligibility to retain insurance coverage.

Bursar Account

Any registration activity may have an effect on your student account. Please contact the Financial, Billing and Enrollment Center  to inquire about any charges or fees that may be assessed due to a registration request. Dropping a course and adding a different section of the same course does not mean that additional fees will not be assessed.

Refunds

Review the  Financial, Billing and Enrollment Center website regarding tuition credits and Bursar Refund Appeal process. An approved drop or withdrawal through the petition for exception to registration process does not mean that the student is eligible for a refund.

Copies

Students are responsible for retaining copies of any and all materials submitted to the Financial, Billing and Enrollment Center. Paperwork will not be returned to you. Medical and sensitive documentation is shredded after the review process. We do not forward documents to other offices. You must make copies if you intend to use materials for another process.

 

 

While You Are Waiting on a Decision 

  • Until they are notified of the outcome of their petition, students remain fully accountable for university financial obligations and course work. Students should continue to attend classes that they are registered for.
  • If you are waiting for a possible approval to late add or re-add a course, you should not be attending the class. Students who are not officially registered for a course by published university deadlines should not attend classes and will not receive credit or a grade for the course.
  • We seek to review and make decisions on petitions for exception to registration in a timely manner. If the petition form is incorrect/incomplete or if required documentation is not submitted, the review process will be delayed. We encourage you to follow-up with us. If you have questions about whether a petition for exception to registration is appropriate for your circumstances or you wish to inquire about the status of your petition, please email RegPetition@kent.edu.
