Record Adjustment Petition

The university recognizes that on rare occasions students will experience exceptional situations that prohibit them from completing some procedures in a timely manner. A student may petition for a record adjustment if a documented hardship occurred during the term for which the adjustment is requested, or in instances where the student will suffer significant academic hardship if the request is not granted.

A Record Adjustment Petition must be filed within a maximum of six years from the last day of instruction of the term being petitioned.  No changes will be made to a student’s record once a degree has been granted.

Please see the forms for additional details and filing instructions. The Record Adjustment Petition Committee meets every Monday.  For questions or inquiries regarding your petition status, please contact the Registrar's Office at 559-278-4743.
