Changing Your Curriculum

Deviations from Penn Engineering course requirements and special requests require the submission of a "Petition for Action" to Room 111. All actions require the approvals noted on the form. Final submission is to the Office of Academic Programs for approval of request.

A blank Petition for Action form is available for download in pdf format.

NOTE: Students in single degree programs should address their petitions to their schools. Dual- and joint-degree students should address their petitions for degree requirement exceptions to the school(s) whose degree requirements are affected; in some cases, a petition to both schools will be required. All other petitions for exceptions (e.g. late drop, late add, late withdrawal, late change of grade type) should be submitted to the home school.
