AcaDemic Forms
Arts Administration Override Request
The override request form should be used if a student is unable to register for an Arts Administration course. The course must have the "AAD" subject code. These requests can be made for the following circumstances:
A student has completed the required prerequisites but can’t enroll;
A student is requesting to be overridden into a course requiring pre-requisites because they have not met those prerequisites;
A student wishes to take a prerequisite course and the course for which that prerequisite is required simultaneously;
Prerequisites for a course change from one catalog year to the next;
The course is full; and
A student wants to take the course but is not an AAD pre-major or major.
Arts Administration Petition Request
The petition request form should be completed for:
Course substitutions;
Required course exemptions;
Alternative minors/certificates or other non-departmental courses to count for directed electives; and
Transfer coursework that may not have previously been recorded.
Course Incomplete Request Form
Students experiencing significant hardship within the course of a semester may request an incomplete grade from the faculty of record for their course. The Course Incomplete Request Form is a contract between the student, instructor, and department that outlines the work left to be completed in the course and the deadlines for submission. Once your faculty member agrees that the student may request an "Incomplete" grade, the student and faculty member should agree on the following requirements:
What assignments/projects/exams are left to complete?
What is your agreed deadline with the instructor for completion?
Once gathered, the student should complete the Course Incomplete Request form. The request will be reviewed by the faculty member and department chair for approval. Students will be notified via email of the outcome of the request.
