Petitions
A petition form may be used to request exceptions to policy.
The purpose of academic policies
The purpose behind all academic policies is to preserve the integrity of the Lewis & Clark degree and provide our graduates with an exceptional credential - nationally valued and respected. Academic regulations are approved by the faculty of Lewis & Clark College and may be modified for an individual student only upon the approval of the Curriculum Subcommittee on Petitions, Appeals and Student-Designed Majors (Petitions Committee). The full policy on modification of academic requirements can be found in the College Catalog.
Types of Petition Forms
There are currently two types of petition forms - one for a specific purpose, and one for all other matters. Links to the petition forms can be found at the bottom of this page. Please read through the information below before choosing your petition form.
