Student Petitions
Talk to Your Academic Advisor
Before completing your petition, we recommend talking to your academic advisor. They will be able to provide guidance of your courses and provide you with assistance during your petition process. Please note the last day to submit petitions and supporting documentation to be reviewed during the spring semester is April 14, 2023. Petitions submitted after this date will not be reviewed until early June.
Read the Goal's Learning Outcomes
Each of the KU Core goals have learning outcomes that describe what we expect of students when they complete the goal. It is really important to read about the goal you plan to petition to ensure your course or experience aligns with it. In addition, the survey form asks you to provide justification of how your course or experience aligns with the petitioned goal.
Collect Required Documentation
After you've talked to your academic advisor and read about the KU Core goal, there are documents you need in order to submit your petition. The first is a syllabus or description of the experience you are submitting. The second document is a letter of support from an advisor or faculty member. Both of these documents assist the UCCC is reviewing your petition and understanding how the course or experience aligns with the KU Core goal.
Submit Your Petition
The final piece in the process is submitting your documentation and completing the questions in the Qualtrics form. The two questions in the form are really important for the committee during their review process. We recommend you take your time and provide as much information as possible when completing them. Please note the last day to submit petitions and supporting documentation to be reviewed during the spring semester is April 14, 2023. Petitions submitted after this date will not be reviewed until early June.
Once you've submitted your petition, please allow at least a month before receiving the outcome notification email.
