Step 2: Submit Online Petition

Petition Submission 

What is a petition?

     A petition is an online form filled out by the student that requests permission to be added to a course.  This form will be automatically routed to the professor teaching the course, and after their approval/denial it will go to the department chair for an additional tier of approval. Once both decisions are made the student will receive an email with the final decision. It's extremely important to note that an approved petition does not mean that you are enrolled in the course. A student must pay to be enrolled.

 

How do I find out what classes I want to take?

     Locate the class(es) you wish to take by going to schedule.cpp.edu.

 

Does the course I'm taking need a prerequisite?

     Verify that the class doesn't have a prerequisite by going to the University Catalog, search on the left-hand side to choose a college, and then continue from there. If the course does have a prerequisite, it is highly encouraged that you submit unofficial transcripts with your petition form to demonstrate you have met the prerequisites.

 

How do I check on the status of my petition?

You can email cpgereg@cpp.edu for status updates. Please wait at least 3 days after petition submission before asking for a status update.
