WWU policy states that potential graduates must have completed ALL degree requirements prior to
commencement in order to participate. This petition requests exception to that policy based on special
circumstances. Submission of this form is not a guarantee of approval.
To qualify for consideration, you must have no more than 14 credits (12 for Biology candidates) including
courses with I and IP grades remaining to complete for your degree. The course(s) must be taken at
WWU during the summer session immediately following commencement. You must have satisfactory
financial arrangements for the course(s) prior to submitting this petition. Additionally, you must be
registered for the course(s) to be eligible to march. (Registration for summer opens in April.)
Participation in commencement does not confirm completion of degree and does not affect the degree
conferral (graduation) date or graduating class membership. Graduation date and graduating class
membership are determined by the term during which you complete the final requirement for your degree.
