Permission Forms

Spring 2027 Academic Advising Online Petition Forms

To seek permission to enroll in a CSE or ISE course, please complete the form that corresponds with your request. Course requests will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

In order for your request to be considered, all required course prerequisites must be successfully completed. Any requests with courses in-progress will be tabled until final grades are posted to SOLAR. Before submitting your request, you are strongly encouraged to review the Undergraduate Catalog.

A number of CSE and ISE courses have seats reserved for specific populations of students. A petition request will not be considered if you encounter a “reserve error” upon enrollment.  

NOTE: Each of the forms below allows you to request permission for specific CSE or ISE courses. If the course for which you are seeking permission is not on the corresponding form, you are not permitted to enroll in the course.

Failure to complete the appropriate form will result in your request being automatically denied. Some requests will not be reviewed until specified dates. See below for details. You will be notified of the decision via email. Please be advised, requests are not guaranteed to be approved and all decisions made by the committee are final.
