Petitioning
Students seeking exceptions to LC State's college policies must submit a petition to the Petition Committee for review.
The Petition Committee's role is to evaluate exceptions to LC State College policy, carefully balancing the needs of the student with the College's commitment to institutional integrity.
Please follow these instructions when submitting your petition to the Registrar's Office:
- Completed petition form, including all required signatures according to the instructions on page 2 of the petition.
- Personal letter from the student signed explaining the situation and/or the reason for the petition.
- Include any supporting documentation relevant to the request and to support what happened as stated in the letter.
The Registrar's Office sends all submitted paperwork to the Petition Committee for them to review and decide on an approval or denial.
The Petition Committee reviews petitions on a weekly basis. Once a decision has been made, the student, their advisor, and the Registrar's Office are notified by email of the committee's decision.
The Petition Committee considers requests for actions such as reinstatement after academic suspension, late add or drop of classes, credit overload, late total withdrawal, and other matters designated as requiring a petition.
