What is a petition for a waiver of prerequisite coursework?
A petition for a waiver of prerequisite coursework is available to students who have previously completed a course prerequisite, but the coursework is not currently reflected in their USC record. Students will be unable to register for the advanced class if they have not had their submitted petition approved, even if granted D-clearance. When a student is requesting D-clearance for a course that has prerequisites, the student must complete the part of the D-clearance online application asking how the prerequisite was fulfilled. Petition forms, available from GER 247, must be submitted in person with an original course syllabus. All petition submissions are subjct to faculty review before approval- it is recommended that a student submit the petition as early as possible to ensure that there is enough time for the petition to be evaluated. Approvals are made on a case by case basis.
