Students MUST submit a completed Incomplete Grade Agreement signed by both the Instructor and Student.  This form can be submitted to your academic advisor and/or the Arts and Sciences Student Services Center.

If approved, payment in full (which may include a tuition surcharge or late registration fee) will be due immediately. Upon proof of payment, the course(s) will be added to the student's schedule. If the course(s) listed below are from a semester which has already concluded, it is the responsibility of the student to contact the instructor(s) and arrange for the submission of a final grade(s).  

Reinstatement applies to the entire schedule at the time of course cancellation; students cannot select individual courses to be reinstated.  For any course(s) in which the instructor is unable to provide a final grade, a failing grade will be assigned.  If the reinstatement is approved, payment in full (which may include a tuition surcharge) will be due immediately. Upon proof of payment, the course(s) will be returned to the student's transcript. It is the responsibility of the student to then contact the instructor(s) and arrange the submission of a final grade(s). 

Barring extreme circumstances, a petition for reinstatement will be entertained only once during a student's time at CSU.

Following the submission of a narrative (on the next page), students will be contacted regarding an appointment with their advisor.  This petition requires that a student and their advisor discuss this request. 

Poor academic performance in a course(s) is not grounds for late withdrawal. The committee is reluctant to grant selective withdrawals, especially when it is clear that the withdrawal is only requested for courses with poor grades. Late withdrawal circumstances typically refer to unforeseen circumstances, with a clear rationale as to why you were unable to withdraw prior to the University-established deadline.

Successful late withdrawal petitions often include relevant medical, legal, or other documentation, if you are willing and able to provide such materials.   Any supplemental materials should be submitted directly to the Arts and Sciences Student Services Center or your academic advisor.

Following the submission of a narrative (on the next page), students will be contacted regarding an appointment with their advisor.  This petition requires that a student and their advisor discuss this request, and that the advisor submit a statement to accompany the petition. 

If you have documentation (medical, legal, etc) you would like to add, you can provide it directly to your advisor.

Additional Statement on Criminal Offenses

Cleveland State University believes students are more than their record. We are dedicated to providing an inclusive pathway to higher education and successful re-entry for the formerly incarcerated. The university will fairly consider all applicants regardless of previous charges or convictions. Responses to these questions are kept confidential.

Following the submission of a narrative (on the next page), students will be contacted regarding an appointment with their advisor.  This petition requires that a student and their advisor discuss this request, and that the advisor submit a statement to accompany the petition. 

If you also need to submit transcripts from another institution, you can provide those directly to your advisor. Unofficial and "in progress" transcripts can be used for the purposes of the petition.  If readmission is granted, official/final transcripts will be required.

By submitting this petition, I hereby authorize the Academic Standards Committee to review any pertinent records.  I also affirm that, to the best of my knowledge, the information provided on this form and any additional documentation related to this request (if applicable) is accurate and authentic.
