Submitting a complete petition to the Executive Committee

In order for a petition to be reviewed by the Committee, it must be submitted by the deadlines listed above. If you have any questions on the contents of a form/s, please email Benjamin Quinn at Benjamin.quinn@tufts.edu

Please note: petitions must first be initiated by individual students. Required supplemental materials and approval must be submitted by the deadline. The GSAS Executive Committee will reach out if additional information is required. 

International students should contact the Tufts International Center with visa questions or extension requests.

Petition for Extension of Time: Petition should include an endorsement from the student's academic advisor. The endorsement should indicate that the student is (a) making sufficient progress toward degree completion; and (b) if granted an extension for the requested amount of time, the student is likely to complete all degree requirements within that period. If a student is applying for reinstatement in addition to extension of time, both applications should be filled out.

Petition for Reinstatement: If the student is applying for reinstatement and extension of time, please submit each form and supporting documents to the Office of the Dean of GSAS by the respective deadline. For international students, the reinstatement petition must be submitted at least three months prior to the requested reinstatement. International students should contact the Tufts International Center regarding their deadlines.
