Many units have more than one curriculum code.
If the same individuals handle petitions for all curriculum codes, one form may be completed. If different individuals handle petitions for different curriculum codes, please duplicate the form and submit as many different copies as are necessary to cover the different codes. In most cases, the person designated to sign petitions on behalf of the department will be a member of the graduate faculty. In many instances, the person will be the director of graduate studies for the program. Administrative staff may be designated to handle routine petition matters.
