Submit
any petition/substitution forms to your academic advisor prior to
your final semester.
Petitions are used to substitute curricular,
major, minor and/or graduation requirements. Petitions should be completed
with the assistance of an academic advisor and must be approved by
the Dean or Director of your College please visit your college's advising
center to request approval. For the major or minor, that program's
Department Head must also approve any petition or substitution. All
petitions must be submitted prior to your final semester in order
to avoid cancellation for graduation. NOTE:
Petitions do not change information on your academic history or
transcript.
If your degree program is on DARS, your college's
Advising Center must enter petitions for you into the DARS system.
As the University of Tennessee transitioned to the DARS system,
previously approved petitions were entered into DARS. Please work
with your Advising Center to ensure that any petitions that you
have submitted are approved and encoded into the DARS system. You
may check the status on your petitions by printing your DARS Report
in the Office of the University Registrar, 209 Student Services
Building.
It is extremely important that you complete any
correspondence courses and incomplete grades as early in your academic
career as possible so that the Graduation Office may correctly audit
your academic progress. For information regarding state and University
Policies about such matters, please consult your Undergraduate Catalog
