Petitions FAQ
You may use a Course Substitution form when you believe that the work you did in a class at a previous institution is comparable to a course at Cal Poly Pomona. You will need to provide a course description, course syllabus, and in some cases assignments. This form should also be used for a direct substitution for coursework taken at Cal Poly Pomona. This form should be completed with an academic advisor or faculty advisor.
A General Academic Petition should be used to fulfill degree discrepancies for other items that are requiring petitioning that cannot otherwise be completed through a course substitution form. Both forms should be completed with an academic advisor or faculty advisor. Note: At this time these forms can be submitted online. Please refer to the link provided for assistance.

When a grade is forgiven due to course repetition, the grade and units for the excluded course work will not be used in the calculation of the grade point average and the units will not be used to satisfy the requirements toward graduation. The excluded course work will remain on the student's permanent record, but will be annotated as excluded from the grade point average through grade forgiveness.

Yes. At the end of each term, the automatic Grade Forgiveness process will run to capture the repeated courses and apply the grade forgiveness, if applicable. However, there may be exceptional situations where your Advisor will need to review the grade forgiveness. If you do not see a grade forgiveness that you expect to occur, please confirm with your academic advisor and contact the Registrar's Office at registrar@cpp.edu.
