Subject: RE: 30/45 hour petition
Since the last column on the advisor guidelines sheet is “Encourage student to petition?” does that mean that students are still able to petition under any circumstances? I just want to make a clear
distinction between how much authority we have to deny petition attempts at the start versus simply discouraging a student from doing so. Many students will submit petitions on groundless terms no matter how much an advisor discourages them from doing so.
If 100% of petitions will be denied if the student has significantly more than 40SCHs left, then I would like to be able to tell the student that and avoid the time spent on submitting the paperwork.
