Students who have a unique situation and would like the MCD Biology Department to consider substituting or waiving a particular requirement or policy may petition by writing a letter to the MCD Faculty Adviser on this webform. Note that approval is not guaranteed and usually requires extenuating circumstances to justify the exception.
The MCD Biology Department will review the petition and the results will be emailed to students in approximately 15 business days. Email
mcdadvising@ucsc.edu if you have any questions or concerns about this process.
