Petitioning for Exception to Deadlines and Rules

The petition process is designed to provide students who experience unavoidable, extenuating circumstances, the opportunity to waive a University policy that, if enforced, would result in unsatisfactory academic progress or financial consequences. A committee of Continuing Education staff reviews petitions on a regular basis. For more information, please contact the petition coordinator at cepetitions@colorado.edu or 303-492-9881. You can also watch our How to Petition Anything webinar to learn more.

Students also have the right to appeal to the Dean of Continuing Education any decision made by the petition committee. Contact the Division’s enrollment services staff for more information.
