PERSONAL STATEMENT
All PEDs require a personal statement with sucient information supporting the selected
exception category. An exception process exists because situations may sometimes occur
which cannot be avoided or predicted. In order for the College to determine whether your
situation qualifies for consideration of an exception, you will need to provide sucient detail and
documentation (as described in the Exception Category of the PED) to support this request for
CBC to make an exception to a College policy. Within the next few pages, please describe your
situation and how it aected your ability to perform normal academic tasks. This petition must
be typewritten (type directly into PED form) and is limited to the number of characters you may
type in each section.
Briefly state the exception you are requesting. For example: “I missed the withdrawal deadline
because I was extremely ill and was hospitalized. I wish to be withdrawn from all of my classes.
(maximum 300 characters)
Provide sucient detail about your situation to justify making an exception. Focus on the
pertinent facts and specific dates of the circumstance within the number of characters allowed.
