Curriculum Petition

The curriculum petition is a formal request for an exception to a university or school standard or policy. In certain unusual circumstances that are beyond your control, you may ask for an exception to curriculum requirements. To ask for an exception, you will need to file a Curriculum Petition, which will be reviewed by the W. P. Carey School of Business Standards Committee and either approved or disapproved.

Please note that a petition for a waiver or exception to a policy does not mean the request will be granted. While the Standards Committee can be understanding about your plight, missing deadlines or failing to achieve performance standards does not release students from accepting personal responsibility.
