Deadline to Submit Petitions for Exception to Registration
The university is obligated to ensure the integrity of the academic transcript as an accurate historical document. Therefore, in order for the academic transcript to reflect the actual history of a student’s experience at the university, an exception to university policy is warranted only in cases involving documented unusual or extenuating circumstances.
A petition is a request for exception to university policy and review and/or approval is not guaranteed. Students may submit a petition in a reasonable period of time, typically within the term under consideration. Petitions for exception to registration may be reviewed retroactively at the discretion of the University Registrar not to exceed two years (2) from the end of the term in which the requested action is sought. Petitions more than two (2) years from the end of the term under consideration are not guaranteed to be reviewed and/or approved. Documents are not returned to students or shared with other offices. Students should keep a copy of their petition and supporting documents for their records. For further information regarding the Petition for Exception to Registration process, please email RegPetition@kent.edu.

Petition for Exception to Registration Form
NF (Never Attended) Grade Related Request - CURRENT TERM ONLY
Students may be eligible to submit a Petition for Exception to Registration - Late Drop (No 'W' on the academic record) from that includes a tuition credit approval. This request is only for the current term courses that have a final grade of NF. THIS FORM CAN ONLY BE USED TO REQUEST A LATE DROP. A “drop” is when a course is dropped from the student’s schedule during the 100% or 80% tuition credit periods. There is no W, “Withdrawal”, on the academic record. A “drop” is different from a “withdrawal”. A withdrawal is when a course is withdrawn after the 2nd week of the term or equivalent and a W is posted on the official transcript.
