Guidelines for Petitions
- The UG Committee is generally willing to allow one substitution, provided the substituted subject has (i) significant materials content, and (ii) does not overlap substantially with a restricted elective that the student has already taken. For example, if you take a graduate version of an undergraduate subject, we would not normally allow both to count towards the four restricted electives, so a petition to count the graduate subject towards the 4 REs would likely not be approved. So if you have taken 3.064 the UGC would probably not approve 3.91 as a restricted elective. If you have taken 3.053j the UGC would probably not approve 3.971j as a restricted elective.
- The UGC is unlikely to allow more than one substitution, unless there are exceptional circumstances (e.g. if you are transferring into the department as a junior).
- You are strongly recommended to petition prior to taking the subject that you want to substitute. The UGC does not guarantee approving substitutions retroactively.
