Petition Instructions for Advisors | Articulation and Evaluation | SIU

Please provide the following information when submitting your DegreeWorks Petition:

1. 1. Are you requesting an Also Allow, Substitution, Apply Here, Remove/Change Limit or Force Complete?
   • Also Allow will add the course as an option to a list of courses. The course may still be removed or re-assigned by the auditing algorithm in some cases, so this is not recommended for Elective rules with a robust course selection or high credit count.
   • Substitution will replace one course with another course.
   • Apply Here will apply a course to a rule regardless of scribe or qualifiers. This is a more powerful exception type than Also Allow and is recommended for the sort of Elective rules mentioned above.
   • Remove/Change Course Limit will allow the removal of a course and/or change the number of credits required (Must have valid support.)
   • Force Complete will force a rule to be complete regardless of qualifiers. This is typically reserved for non-credit bearing requirements such as Minimum Major GPAs, required Minor declarations, and Residency requirements.
2. What course is being added in the Also Allow or what course(s) is being Substituted; or what is the reason something is being Force Complete?
3. What block does this need to apply to? i.e. Degree, UCC, Major, Specialization, Minor, etc.
4. What rule does this need to apply to? i.e. Social Science, College Physics, Advisor Approved Electives, etc.
5. First/Last name of the person in your department approving the petition if major specific (UCC will be reviewed by the Registrar's Office), as well as any applicable notes.
