Academic petitions and waivers are requests for exceptions to academic requirements,
rules, or deadlines. With Unified Catalog, students submit requests and supporting
documentation, and institutions review, track, and record the outcomes.

Use intake forms and configurable approval workflows to manage academic petitions and waivers
in one place. Centralized tracking and outcome management provide an audit trail, support
regulatory compliance, and preserve petition and waiver decisions as part of each student’s
record.
A petition or waiver moves through these stages:
- Through a learner portal, students submit petition requests for an exception to a standard
academic rule or deadline.
- Students provide all necessary fields and documentation.
- The petition automatically routes to the correct advisor for review and signature via
workflows and approval processes.
- Students view the real-time status of the request.
- The system stores the approved or denied petition or waiver on the student's 360-degree
record. This action provides a complete audit trail for compliance and future advising.
