About Course Substitutions and General Academic Petitions

If you would like to submit a petition to substitute a course for a major or general education requirement, please schedule a meeting with your advisor to complete the Course Substitution. 

General Academic Petitions should only be used for non-course substitution reasons, with a few exceptions. If you need to submit a General Academic Petition for any of the following reasons, please contact a BAC advisor at bac@cpp.edu for further information and guidance:

• Elective/Emphasis/Concentration Declarations if deviating from catalog or curriculum sheet
• Study Abroad (IPC) course substitutions
• Credit from non-regionally accredited institutions (after completion of 20 units at CPP)
• Rescinding a previously submitted petition
• Discontinued student petitions (graduate out of residency)
• Any requests for catalog or specific policy​ exceptions
