Exceptions to Academic Policies

If extraordinary circumstances warrant waiver of an academic policy, a student may petition the University for relief.   The petition must first be routed to the student’s Academic advisor (who should assist in preparation), department chair, and dean.  Any petition filed with the Faculty Senate Office will be made by the Faculty Senate Academic Standards Committee.  Information on how to file a petition can be found at: https://www.unlv.edu/facultysenate/student-resources/general-petition.
