A petition may be submitted if a student would like to request that any requirement for the program be waived. This might include but is not limited to:

  • Course substitution requests.
  • Request for a waiver of a degree requirement.
  • Request for a prerequisite waiver.

Extenuating circumstances are required for a petition to be considered.

The process for the submission and review of a petition is:

  1. The student will complete the Engineering and Computing Program Petition form available from the Engineering and Computing Program Director or you may print it here.
  2. The student will submit this form and any supporting documents to the Engineering and Computing Program Director.
  3. The Engineering and Computing Program Director or Designee will review the petition and make an initial recommendation recorded on the Engineering and Computing Program Petition form.
  4. The Engineering and Computing Program Director will then present the relevant Engineering and Computing Program Petition form to the Rockhurst Engineering and Computing Steering committee.
  5. The Rockhurst Engineering and Computing Steering committee will review the petition and either approve or deny the petition recorded on the Engineering and Computing Program Petition form.
  6. Students may appeal this decision to the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.
  7. Students will be notified of the decision via email.
  8. A copy of the decision will be sent to the Registrar’s office if appropriate.
  9. The original Engineering and Computing Program Petition form with any accompanying documentation will be retained in the student’s file.
