- The proposed area of thesis research
- The student’s GPA in the major field in all courses above the 100-level
- A list of courses used for the calculation, including the grade in each course
- Verification that the department has been consulted and supports the petition
Deadline
The petition should be submitted to the CCAP no later than the second week of classes in the fall semester of the student’s senior year.
