Exceptions to Academic Regulations

Academic regulations exist in order to ensure integrity and fairness in the academic programs of the University. Therefore, exceptions to academic regulations will be granted only when there are extenuating circumstances beyond the student’s control that justify special consideration. If a student believes that such circumstances exist, he or she may petition for an exception to an academic regulation. The petition process is outlined below:

  1. The student completes the Academic Petition form found in the Student tab in MyUJ, stating clearly the reasons for the request and providing any supporting evidence.
  2. The student submits the completed form, either in electronic or physical format, to the Undergraduate Dean. 
  3. The Undergraduate Dean considers the petition, and if he/she deems it necessary, consults with the Curricular Council.
  4. The Undergraduate Dean approves or denies the petition and returns the petition with an explanation to the Registrar who informs the student of the decision.
