Each college sets its own deadlines for submission of requests and documentation. Because of its far-reaching powers, CURC insists on thorough documentation of the student's extenuating circumstances. You will be given guidance on appropriate forms of documentation when you interview with the dean's office staff. You should be aware that CURC routinely checks the authenticity of documentation. If CURC finds evidence that you have submitted falsified or forged documents, judicial charges will be brought against you in accordance with the University's Code of Conduct and, if you are found guilty, you will face penalties up to and including expulsion.
All documentation is retained in the student's permanent file within the college dean's office.
CURC observes strict confidentiality and will not release information about the request, your circumstances, or your documentation without your written permission. Letters are sent to the student's local address on file with the Registrar's Office. If your petition has been declined, you may submit additional documentation and ask CURC to reconsider your request. Requests for reconsideration are made through the same procedure as the original request. CURC generally declines to reconsider cases for which no new documentation is available.
