This video will give more information about the online Academic Petition process.
The online process will be effective beginning in the fall 2012 term.
You can access the online Academic Petition through Banner self-service.
This new online process is only for active undergraduate students.
Inactive students will still use the paper version of the Academic Petition form and
graduate students will continue to use the Special Request form.
This means that the paper form will still be available, however; we encourage the online
process for those who are able to use it.
Routing works just like it does for the paper forms, however; it will be simply routed through
an online process.
You'll receive an e-mail indicating when there’s a petition that needs to be reviewed for a
student. These e-mails are sent once per day.
Only associate deans have the ability to approve or not approve requests. All others are responsible
for providing recommendations.
The online Academic Petition process will automatically email the student with the decision
as well as any Associate Dean comments.
All of the final processing will be completed for the petition by the Office of the Registrar.
The link for the online Academic Petition can be found on the faculty and advisors menu
in Banner self-service.
When you select this link, you will be taken to the petition main menu.
The main menu will indicate any students that need to be reviewed.
The petition information is found in the middle portion of the form.
An email reminder is sent every day if there are any students that need to be reviewed.
There is an approver's menu on the left hand side of the page that provides a few options.
The student search option allows you to search for any student by ID number or name.
This will show all petitions for a student, including past petitions and current ones
that may be in the queue.
Processed history option allows you to view the history of petitions that you have made
recommendations on. The petition on behalf of student option allows
you to submit an Academic Petition on behalf of the student.
This feature is particularly helpful for advisors.
A reminder email will be sent once per day for students that need to be reviewed.
Depending on your role with the University, you may receive multiple emails for one student.
For example, if you were an advisor as well as an instructor.
To review a student's Academic Petition, click the select button next to their information.
Once the petition is selected, the top portion of the page will display the petition submitted
by the student.

more or less information related to the petition.
The sections that the student is required to enter are the same as on the paper form.

student’s petition, information is a section to be completed by the instructor.

Petition processing.
All sections do not need to be filled out, but it is recommended.
