University Policy and Procedures for Student Complaints, Petitions for Policy Waivers and Variances, and Other Appeals

Georgia State University seeks to maintain the highest standards of integrity and fairness in its relationships with students. The Undergraduate Catalog and the Graduate Catalog Student Code of Conduct set forth policies and requirements for Georgia State students. Students are expected to know and comply with these policies. Students may, however, seek relief or resolution when they believe that:

A. The application of these policies and procedures will create undue hardship for them or will not recognize their extraordinary or extenuating circumstances; or

B. Specific actions, practices, or decisions on academic or non-academic matters have been made or carried out in an arbitrary, discriminatory, or inequitable manner.

The procedures for complaints, petitions, and appeals related to University-wide and college-based policies are listed at http://www.gsu.edu/es/24954.html and http://www.gsu.edu/es/23592.html

To adhere to University policy, the College of Education has developed two forms: Petition for Waiver or Variance and Student Petition for Resolution. Students should complete these forms and submit to appropriate department for review.

 

Petition for Waiver or Variance

Any student in the College of Education may petition for a waiver or variance of established policy, procedure, rule, or guideline governed by the college. The Student Petition for Waiver or Variance must be submitted by the end of the term prior to the term in which the exception is needed.

NOTE: This form should be used for requests of substitutions of required courses, waivers of college policies governing graduate students, or waivers of college policies governing doctoral students.

Student Petition for Resolution

Students are encouraged to discuss academic or non-academic problems or grade concerns with the instructor prior to filing a formal petition, in an effort to gain understanding about the basis of the treatment or grade. If the issue is not resolved informally, students should complete the Student Petition for Resolution process.
