What is the process for petitioning for one of the allowable exceptions?
First, keep in mind that you do not need to fill out a petition for the approved substitute courses, only for those that indicate they require a petition. You can download a copy of the petition here. You can sign it electronically (by typing your name: Jane Doe – Signed electronically) on the signature line and e-mailing it along with any relevant materials as an attachment to psychology at wjh dot harvard dot edu, or drop it off in William James Hall 218. Once we review the petition, we will e-mail you to let you whether it was approved. If approved, you will need to pick up a copy of the signed petition and retain the copy. It is your responsibility to keep track of any approved petitions, and to turn in a copy along with your final paperwork to file a for a secondary field program.
