Petitions & Appeals

Important updates to the petition process

Petitions
As a student at Stony Brook, you have an obligation to review, understand, and abide by University policies, procedures, requirements, and deadlines as contained in the  Undergraduate Bulletin. The academic calendar and deadlines are published on the  Registrar’s Office website.

On occasion, extraordinary circumstances permit students to request an exception to an academic policy or deadline.  The Executive Officer and the full Committee on Academic Standing and Appeals (CASA) consider requests for exceptions to academic policies through a petition process.  

Appeals
The Associate Provost for Academic Success considers other special requests, exceptions, and appeals.
