NOTE TO MAC USERS: There is a known problem of compatibility between Preview (the default program for viewing PDF on the Mac operating system) and Acrobat forms. PDF forms filled out in Preview do not display all form data when opened in Acrobat. You MUST use Acrobat Reader to fill out forms when using a Mac computer. For more information, visit our Mac Users page.

Petitions are to be used for actions that require Dean's approval. Please review each petition form to determine which one is appropriate for the action you are requesting. Supporting documentation and explanatory letters are required for all petitions. Please read the instructions on each form carefully. You may: 1) complete the form and email the petition, along with your supporting documentation, to Julie Hamburger in the Assistant Dean's office at jhamburger@ou.edu, or 2) print the petition and your documentation, and bring it to the Academic Services office in Ellison Hall, Rm. 124. You will be notified via email regarding the decision.
