Petitions

Academic Standards Committee petitions are used to petition a change to a student’s records, such as a course add, drop, or withdrawal after the established deadline for such a change.
ASC Petitions may be obtained from Admissions & Records.

Contract for Overlapping Classes

This form is used when a student wishes to enroll in two or more classes whose class time overlaps and creates a conflict.  This form is required for any overlap in time.  The student will need to submit this form, signed by the instructor, along with an informal written contract between the instructor and student, as to how the missed time will be made up each week to Admissions and Records before the Add Deadline for the classes.  Forms will NOT be accepted by Admissions and Records without the accompanying contract.  Once received, the packet is forwarded for approval by the Division Dean.  If the contract is approved, the student is added to the class.  A confirmation is sent by mail.  Processing time is generally 5 business days.

Level/Section Transfer

A student who wishes to move from one section of a course to another section, or from one course level to a lower course level, may submit a Level/Section Transfer form to Admissions and Records.  The form must be signed by both the current and new instructor, prior to being turned in.  Forms must be submitted prior to the earliest withdrawal date of both classes in order to be considered.  Processing time is generally 2 to 3 business days.  If approved, the student will receive a confirmation by mail.

Request for Registration Date Change

A student who is unable to register for classes at his or her appointed time due to circumstances beyond his or her control, may submit a Request for Registration Date Change to Admissions and Records for review.  The student will need to supply documentation to support the request for a date change.  Processing time is generally 2 to 3 business days and students are notified by email whether the request has been approved or not.  A student whose request is approved will be moved only one registration block earlier.

Request for Course Repetition

A student wishing to petition to take a class more than the allowable number of times per the guidelines in the College of the Canyons Catalog, may submit the Request for Course Repetition to Admissions and Records. Documentation for the extenuating circumstances must accompany the request.  Petition processing is 1 to 2 business days.  All students are notified by email.

Reinstatement to Class

A student who was incorrectly dropped from a class (but NOT due to non-payment of fees), may submit a Reinstatement to Class form to Admissions and Records after obtaining a signature from the instructor of the class.  Processing occurs within 24 hours.
