PETITION TO REPEAT ECON 300 AND/OR 301
The University Handbook specifies that an undergraduate student may repeat ECON 300 and/or 301 once each
with permission of the department offering the course. Once you have completed this petition, please request an
appointment with an adviser by sending an email to [email protected]. This petition will not be reviewed during
drop-in advising hours. Thank you.

Briefly explain why you will be more successful when repeating the course. What will you do to succeed? (Feel

Department Approval
I understand that if this petition is approved, I will not be allowed any additional repeats of the course, even if it is
required for graduation. I further understand that if I cannot satisfactorily (2.0 or higher) complete the course in
the quarter listed, I may need to complete my degree in another department (i.e. I may be dropped from the
major or not admitted to the major should I apply).
