Communication

Decisions are communicated through the student’s KSU email account. If they are a former student we ask that the student provide the best phone number and personal email address, which will be verified. A mailing address may also be included.

Incomplete Petitions

Incomplete petitions may be returned to the student. 

Pending

If any additional information/documentation is needed the petition will only remain pending for 1 week. A decision will be made. The petition will be considered not sufficient to review/approve due to being incomplete, and therefor denied.

Return for Revision

If any request form is returned to the student for correction, a deadline will be indicated in the return message. If the updated form or the correct form (in the cases of the wrong form being submitted) is not received by the deadline, we will be unable to consider the request. 

Petitions that are not approved

All students are granted a one-time opportunity to appeal the decision. Appeal decisions are final. Email RegPetition@kent.edu, for details.

Students should submit an appeal within 7 days from the time the original decision was received.  Appeals will be reviewed during the last week of each month.  Petitions must be received by the 20th of each month to be reviewed at the end of that month. If the petition for exception to registration appeal is received after the 20th, the petition will be reviewed within the review period of the following month.
