Guidelines for Completing Your Petition
Advising: Petition forms will not be presented to the committee unless you speak with a CHP advisor in Ahlberg
Hall 402, and the advisor signs the form. This step is required to make sure you have been given proper guidance
on the nature of your request, the contents of your justification letter and supporting documentation, and the
possible ramifications if your request is granted. Please be aware that an advisor cannot guarantee any particular
decision regarding your request; our office does not have the authority to approve or deny a petition.
Delivery: The petition form and your letter can be submitted to our office by mail, email, or in person. If you
do not turn in your petition in person, please call the CHP Advising Office at 316.978.3304 #2 to confirm it has
been received.

If you are turning your petition in by email, a signature is still required. You can sign the form electronically
using Adobe Acrobat Reader. Alternatively, you can print the form, sign it, and either scan it and email it or drop
it off at Ahlberg 402.
Procedure: The petitioning process is a formal procedure in which your written petition is given careful
consideration. Two committees see your petition: the CHP Student Affairs Committee which is composed of
faculty and staff from the College of Health Professions, and the University Exceptions Committee (UEC) which
is composed of faculty and staff from several academic disciplines at Wichita State University.
Results: The UEC typically meets once a month to review petitions. Results are available on the Monday
following the action of the UEC; your results will be emailed to your WSU email address, and you may also
request a copy of your results in Ahlberg Hall 402. Due to federal privacy laws, we cannot release UEC results
over the telephone.
