Academic Petition Request Form
Petitions are requests to be exempted from degree chart requirements. Petitions will not be granted for any core degree requirement in Course 11 or 11-6, except for in extenuating circumstances as assessed by the entire undergraduate committee. When addressing 11-6 elective courses, the committee will approve temporary petitions for alternative electives at the beginning of each semester. Since our Course 11-6 major is a partnership with Course 6, petitions for classes in Course 6 are considered in consultation with them. Students should not expect to have more than two petitions approved during their entire degrees.
Note: petitions must be submitted by the end of the second week of the semester.

Students should consult with their academic advisor to:

Carefully and thoroughly discuss the circumstances of the request.
Consider what is in the best interest of the student (e.g. long-term course plans).
Fill out the specific and detailed description of the request. Provide clarification and rationale for the intent and purpose for the petition, including identifying extenuating circumstances, if related; provide relevant support documentation (e.g. advisor approval, syllabus, any other documentation that you deem relevant to the petition, etc.).

Appropriate academic petitions for alternative electives include:
Special subjects or classes in other departments, that are related to the respective Course 11 and 11-6 majors, not listed on the degree charts. Replacements for electives that have not been offered in the past three years.

For more specific questions, students should contact DUSP Academic Programs Manager, Sandra Elliott (sandrame@mit.edu).
