Undergraduate Advising Forms
Enrollment Change Request (ECR)
An enrollment change request form is used to request late adds, swaps or withdrawals after the add/drop deadline. Late add or course swap requests must include instructor permission for the course that a student is requesting to add. Completed ECR forms should be submitted to the SESE Academic Programs Office at seseforms@asu.edu.
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences students are typically capped at 18 credits per semester (9 per A/B session and 18 per C session) or 7 credits in each summer session. Students may petition to take more than 18 credits in a specific semester by submitting a Credit Overload Petition. Forms should be submitted directly to the student’s academic advisor and must be submitted prior to the start of the session for which the overload is being requested.
A complete withdrawal form is for students who would like to drop all courses within a specific session (A, B, C). The form should be submitted to the SESE Academic Programs Office at seseforms@asu.edu.
A concurrent degree petition is for students who wish to add a concurrent degree in The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. If one of the two degrees is not in The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the student may need to follow an additional process for the other degree/college. More information on The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences policies regarding concurrent degrees can be found here: https://thecollege.asu.edu/resources/advising. Concurrent degree petitions should be submitted to seseforms@asu.edu.
Override requests are needed if a student cannot enroll in class due to a prerequisite issue, instructor/department consent hold, time-conflict issue, or the course is full. Documentation of instructor permission for the override must be included.
SESE can only approve overrides for AST, GLG and SES courses on the Tempe Campus. Override requests for other subjects must be submitted directly to the department/school offering the course.
Medical compassionate withdrawal (MCW)
MCW requests are for students who have encountered unforeseen medical or personal circumstances that have affected their academic studies. Please see the MCW website for more information on the eligibility requirements, process and documentation needed: https://thecollege.asu.edu/resources/medical-withdrawal.
A third-time petition is needed for College of Liberal Arts and Sciences majors who would like to request permission to take a course for a third time. The form should be submitted to the SESE Academic Programs Office at seseforms@asu.edu. Third time petitions should be submitted no later than two weeks before the start of the semester.
A probation success plan is for students who have less than a 2.0 GPA and have a PROBATION notice on their account. The student will need to complete the probation success plan and schedule an appointment to meet with their advisor before any related registration holds are removed.
