What does the process look like?

• Student submits completed petition with all required documentation to听academicpetitions@ut.edu听from their Spartan email address.
  • Petitions are reviewed by the Academic Petitions Committee and processed in the order in which they were received.
  • Average processing time is 10-14 business days. Processing time may be extended during peak times.
  • Student is contacted via Spartan email with any updates or decisions as they become available. Decision letter will outline the next steps based on the type of request being made.
• Note:听$30 late fee will be applied to your account for any approved schedule changes made after the add/drop deadline for the current semester. Additional tuition fees may apply.
• Before you petition, it is your responsibility to understand any possible ramifications, financial, academic or otherwise.

Additional Info:

• Academic petitions/appeals for graduate students and/or non-degree seeking students are handled by the Office of Graduate and Continuing Studies. Please reach out to them with any questions at听gradinfo@ut.edu听or refer to the in the .
• We cannot expedite requests; late adds are prioritized for the current term.
• Documents submitted in languages other than English may not be able to be reviewed by the Committee.
• Attempted credit hours (withdrawn courses) still count towards your overall credits for the term and adding courses may result in additional tuition charges. Please contact the Bursar鈥檚 Office for any questions regarding tuition/fees.
• Can I attend the course I am requesting to late add while my petition is being processed? No.
• If a petition is not answered in a way that does not satisfy the student, they may advance an academic appeal to the Academic Appeals Committee. This requires:
  • Academic Appeals form
  • NEW personal statement
  • NEW documentation
• The decision of the Academic Appeals Committee is considered final. If the student believes that procedural due process was not followed, he or she may request review by the Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate, which will render a decision as to whether the Academic Appeals Committee afforded procedural due process to the student in its consideration of the appeal.
