Forms

Use the College Change Petition to transfer into or out of the College of Business. For more information and timelines on switching colleges, visit our College Change Advising page.

Use the Degree Program Exception Approval Petition to request an exception to your degree requirements. Before submitting the petition, consult with your academic advisor.

Use the Dual Degree Petition to add an additional degree alongside your BSBU degree. For more information on the process and timeline for Dual Degrees, please visit our College Change Advising page and consult with your Academic Advisor.

Use the Major Declaration Form to declare your major. A notification will be sent to your Academic Advisor. Note: This form is exclusively for B.S. Business and Economics majors.

If you want to declare two majors, you’ll need to fill out two separate forms - make sure to complete each one correctly using the following example:

If you're declaring a double major in Finance and Accounting, start by completing the form for Finance. For the question "Is this a second major?", select No, and leave the "Other Major" field blank.

Next, complete a separate form for Accounting. For the question "Is this a second major?", select Yes, and in the "Other Major" field, indicate Finance.

Use the Overload Request Form to request enrollment in 18+ credits in a semester. Before submitting, check the Overload Request Grid to ensure that an SOS Petition is not also required.

Use the Override Request Form during registration periods to request access to classes with restrictions.

Use the Pass-Fail Grading Request Form to request permission for pass/fail grading for your course. Submit the form to your Academic Advisor for their signature. Please be aware that pass/fail grading is only applicable to Free Elective coursework.

Please use the SOS Petition Form to clearly outline your request and provide a rationale. If you are unsure whether the SOS Petition Process is appropriate, please consult your Academic Advisor.

All SOS Petition materials, including the Petition, Separate Attached Personal Statement, Instructor Signature/Recommendation (if applicable), and any additional supporting documentation, must be submitted in full. Please email these materials to your academic advisor or businessadvising@lehigh.edu.

Your complete materials will be forwarded to Associate Dean Rothman, who will submit your petition in its entirety to the SOS Committee for review.

After the Committee on the Standing of Students (SOS) reviews your petition and reaches a decision, the Dean of Students Office will notify you of the outcome via email as soon as possible. 

To get a course from another institution transferred over to Lehigh for credits, please follow the steps below:

1. Fill out the Transfer Credit Form. You will also need to attach the course description, calendar, and schedule in order to seek department approval.

2. Send this form and the associated materials directly to the Lehigh department most closely related to the course you would like to take at another institution (for example, if you are seeking to take a Psychology course elsewhere, then you would send the materials to the Psychology department at Lehigh). Please note some departments have more specialized processes and restrictions, so you will need to research department-level policies when submitting this form.

3. Once the department reviews and completes the form, please send the form to the Office of the Registrar for final review. Note that the Registrar has final authority as to whether or not the credits will transfer to Lehigh. We encourage you to reach out to their office to ensure that the credits will be transferring back the way you intend for them to. 

Note: For Business courses, before searching for an equivalent course at another institution, please first connect with the appropriate department. Some departments in the College of Business will have different guidelines on what types of transfer credits they accept.

Use the Withdrawal Form to drop or withdraw from a course. Please check the deadlines on the Academic Calendar to determine if a drop or withdrawal “W” is the appropriate action.
