Course Reinstatement Petition
For Instructor Drops Only
It is the obligation of the student to make a serious effort to resolve grievances concerning an instructor-initiated
drop resulting from failure to meet the attendance and/or missed assignment requirements as specified on the

compelling evidence of discrimination, differential treatment, factual error, or violation of a relevant university
policy.
INSTRUCTIONS

days after official notification has been sent to you that you have been dropped from a course for
excessive absences and/or missed assignments.
