Petitions and Forms
Did you miss the deadline to add a class? Don’t worry. Email the add/drop petition with the instructor and departmental approvals. Already submitted a request? No need to resubmit.
Petitions are for requesting an exception to a faculty-established policy or academic deadline. Students are required to provide evidence of compelling circumstances which would warrant approval. Present all information in a clear and concise manner. Additional information can be found through Academic Advising.
Reasons considered NOT VALID for petitioning include but are not limited to:
- Lack of knowledge of dates, deadlines, or policies
- Date midterm results were received
- Failure to carefully check registration and bills on DuckWeb
- Errors in personal judgment
- Dissatisfaction with instructor, grade, content, or services
- Lack of participation
- Failure to follow procedures
Petitions can only be processed when all holds are cleared. Please address any registration holds before submitting a petition.
We are currently only accepting petitions by email. Return your completed petition with all required statements, signatures, stamps, and supporting documentation to registrar@uoregon.edu as soon as possible. All completed petitions will be reviewed; highest priority is given to those with current registration deadlines.
