College Petition Forms
Sometimes, unfortunate events can take place during a student's pursuit of a degree. In the event that something occurs that impacts your academic performance, we want to inform you that the college, as well as the University, has a petition process in place.
In order to begin the college petition process, students must first schedule a petition meeting with an academic advisor. Meeting with an advisor allows for the petition process to go as smoothly as possible. To schedule a meeting with your academic advisor, please log on to the Success Network.
This form is to request a late withdrawal from one or more courses after the last day to withdraw from coursework. The Late Withdrawal petition must be within one year of the semester the course was taken. For instance, if you need to drop a course from Fall 2020, the petition must be submitted no later than Fall 2021.
Student must follow the instructions on the Petition and submit all required documentation. Failure to comply with these instructions will result in a denied petition or petition that is not reviewed. (FAU Login required)
