How to Improve Your Request for an Exception:

The request for an exception to a college or university regulations is a request for special consideration. The obligation to clearly and completely present the case rests with you. Exceptions are never automatically granted. Do not treat this request as a trivial or casual event.

The guidelines offered here are suggestions for improving your chances of getting approval of your request.

1. Get Good Advice:

• Schedule an appointment with your adviser or the manager of the Student Records Office to discuss your case.
• If the request involves a specific course, discuss it with the instructor. Some requests can be strengthened if accompanied by the instructor’s endorsement.

2. Completing the Form:

• In Part I, state WHAT you are requesting (e.g., readmission, late drop, etc).
• In Part II, clearly state WHY you are requesting the exception. Demonstrate why, in your situation, the rule or the requirement should be waived.
• Attach documents that support your case. For example, in the case of an illness, attach medical documents.
