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 (FIN) and Accounting (ACCT), start with the form for FIN. Make sure to note that it’s not a second major on that form. Then, submit a second form for your ACCT major, indicating that it is a second major and that your first major is FIN.

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. 

Use the Transfer Credit Approval Form when requesting credit from another institution. Students should refer to the Transfer Credit Policy for guidance on the steps to obtain approval.

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.
