  1. College Petitions Process Better serving students through innovation and technology

  2. The Petitions Process The ability to petition, for a record adjustment, has always been a mechanism available to students College Petitions Committee meets weekly Basis: Extraordinary unforeseen circumstances beyond a student’s control, or college error Requirements: Formal submission of all relevant documentation for review by committee
