<p>So i really really missed the deadline to change the grading basis on one of my classes and now I have to petition for it. I guess it's pretty hard to get a petition approved.</p>
<p>Has anyone ever done it and got it approved? What was your excuse/premise for waiting so long?</p>
<p>yes we have a pass/no pass system. i take classes with that all the time. however, the only classes you generally have this option for are nonmajor classes and you can only have one class of this grading scale per quarter.</p>
<p>Unless you had a documented medical emergency or serious family/personal issues (and I mean <em>serious</em>), it’s not gonna happen. I know many people (including myself, ha) who have tried this and none of us have gotten approved. I wouldn’t even waste time applying, spend that time studying for the class that’s giving you trouble.</p>
