Prepare a clear request for review
Collect requests for an exception to a program or graduation requirement.
The included questions capture requirement and program and proposed alternative and term, alongside the signer’s contact details. A reason-for-request field gives the reviewer context. The acknowledgment makes clear that a separate decision is required.
Ask the student to identify the exact rule and proposed substitute. Communicate the decision through the institution's official process.
Customize the eligibility instructions, reviewer contact, and follow-up process before sharing the form. Where an authority requires its own form, use this template only for preliminary intake and direct the applicant to the official process.
Best practices
Ask the student to identify the exact rule and proposed substitute. Communicate the decision through the institution's official process.
Set a realistic review timeframe and explain how the applicant will receive a decision. Submitting this form does not automatically approve the request.
Ask only for information your team needs. Arrange any sensitive supporting documents through an appropriate private process.
Test the published form on a phone, check the signature field, and confirm that your team can find the response before sharing the link widely.
