Instructions for Submitting a UAS IFP Petition
STEP 1:
Petitioner may obtain a petition form from University Advising Services (SU 201) or the UAS
website, www.fau.edu/uas. Complete the form and attach any pertinent information/evidence in
support of your petition (i.e. letters from advisor(s), etc.) Petitioners should include a personal
statement. Personal statements must be typed; double spaced and should not exceed more
than two pages. Provide as much detailed information as possible. A rational must be
provided explaining why the correct IFP class was not taken and justification for the course
substitution. A signature from your college of major academic advisor is required. Early
action from a student is strongly suggested so if the petition is denied, the student has time to
take the missing class.
NOTE:
Petitions submitted without documentation will be refused and/or will not be reviewed
until documentation is provided. DO NOT SUBMIT ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS. Documents
provided as part of the petition will not be returned.
STEP 2:
Upon completing the petition form, the petitioner submits the form in the University Advising
Services Office, SU 201, along with all supporting documents.
STEP 3:
Petitioners will be notified by e-mail when a determination has been made regarding their
petition. If approved, the changes will be posted to the DAR (Degree Audit Report)
