Use the Student Petitions (STPE) form in Colleague
- Grant a student petition for a course or section. If you enter a Petition Status that grants the petition, then if the associated course requires a petition there will be no override required at registration.
- Grant faculty consent for a course or section. If you enter a Faculty Consent Status that grants consent, then if the associated course requires faculty consent there will be no override required at registration.
- Grant an overload petition for a term. The Overload Petition would only be used to allow registration for courses that cause a student's schedule to go into overload status for that term. Term is required for an overload petition.
- NOTE: Petitions can be viewed in my.forsythtech.edu, but they cannot be edited there.
