The documentation necessary for justification can vary depending on your request. Please consult with an academic advisor about documentation before submitting your petition. Depending on your request, you may be requested to provide a written note from a doctor, counselor, employer or a police report. Specific dates and times should be mentioned in any letter submitted. In any case, all letters must be on official letterhead, dated and signed.
Original copies are preferred.
There are two components of a strong petition. The first is the inherent merit of the case and the second is the manner in which the case is presented. This section will focus on the presentation of a petition. All petitions are judged on the basis of the written justification that is supplied. Therefore, it is very important that you think very carefully how you compose your statement.
