PETITIONS

Student academic requests should, with the exception of course drop/adds within the specified deadlines, and requests for extensions as above, be submitted in the form of a letter to the Chair of the Committee of the Teaching Staff (i.e. the Dean of Divinity). These petitions come before the Committee at its meetings, which are held approximately 12 times per year. Following each meeting, students are advised by letter whether their petitions were successful.
