Forms

While most of the curriculum is programmed to automatically you might find the need to submit a petition.  Here are a couple links to those forms and a description for each.  

Technical Elective Petition – Use this form when you take an upper division course that is not on the technical electives list of your curriculum sheet (for CE students, see Group 3 for general option, and Group 2 for the environmental and geospatial options).   

• Use this form to satisfy technical elective credit with CE 4990. 

General Academic Petition – Use this online form to: 

• Satisfying a core, option core, or elective course with another similar or equivalent course taken outside CPP where no articulation agreement exists. Check www.assist.org for existing articulation agreements.  
• Satisfying a core, option core, or elective course, with another similar or equivalent course taken at CPP that is not already programmed into Bronco Direct.
