Instructor’s Signature on Study Cards and Petitions

The Office of the Registrar will not accept any study card that lacks a required signature. The instructor’s signature must be obtained for all undergraduate enrollments in graduate-level courses and for those that require the permission of the instructor, as indicated by an asterisk in Courses of Instruction. Study cards filed after the prescribed deadline must contain the instructor’s signature for every course listed.

Undergraduates adding a course after the study card is filed or changing grading status to Pass/Fail must obtain the signature of the course head, but the signature is not required for dropping or withdrawing from a course. For graduate students, the instructor’s permission is required for adding or withdrawing from a course by petition and is not required for dropping a course.

Instructors may not delegate their responsibility for signing study cards, change-of-course petitions, or submitting grades. Instructors are therefore asked to be available to students to discuss their course enrollment status and, when necessary, to sign the required petitions.
