Records Office

Location: B150 ASB, 801-422-2634,
Petitions: A resource for students whose poor academic performance was a result of extenuating circumstances not related to academics but affected a student’s academics (Death of a close relative, illness or injury including depression). Students may submit a petition to withdraw from courses. Meet with your Life Sciences Advisor for more information.

Incomplete Contracts: You may request an incomplete grade (I) from your instructor if you had a nonacademic emergency (serious illness, personal injury, death in the immediate family, etc.) occur after the discontinuance deadline. An incomplete contract allows you to have up to one year to complete the unfinished coursework with your instructor. If the contract is not completed, a failing grade (IE) will be given.
