Submitting a petition is the way a mentor requests a change to a School of Undergraduate Studies or School of Nursing student’s Degree Works audit, including:
•Course substitution or change in the major/AOS, general education, ed planning, etc.
•Unevaluated or unapplied transfer credit
•Pre-2018 SUNY Empire coursework needing review
•Lower-level transfer course meeting an upper-level requirement
In order to submit a petition, start by clicking on the “Submit a Petition” link in Degree Works found under the “Links” tab. This will open the Petition Submission form.
In the Petition Submission form, choose from the drop-down list of mentees or enter the student ID. A search by name is also available.
Select the degree the petition is regarding, and select a petition type:
•Substitution for coursework in major/AOS or Ed Planning
•Coursework in another area (Gen Ed/Liberal/Advanced)
•Unevaluated/unapplied transfer/advanced standing credit
Fill out the remaining fields, which vary depending on the petition type selected.
Click on the Submit button found on the bottom left of the page.
You will receive a message that your request has been sucessfully submitted.
Once your petition has been reviewed by the appropriate individual(s), you will receive a notification that it has been either approved and applied to the Degree Works audit, or denied with a justification.
