Empowering your undergraduate journey
Our vision is to empower students to take ownership of their college experience by providing guidance, resources and opportunities that foster informed decision-making, effective communication and meaningful relationships. We strive to cultivate engaged citizens who excel in academics, leadership and community involvement. Through mutual growth and collaboration, we embrace our role as change-makers, preparing students to critically analyze and solve the challenges of their time. Guided by compassion, integrity, resilience and determination, we foster a supportive environment where all can thrive and contribute to shaping a better campus, community and world.
Frequently asked questions: Petitions
With every petition you should include a petition form, a one page typed letter explaining your situation and your plans for being a successful student in the future. You will also need to include any supporting documentation that may help your appeal. If you are also requesting a complete late withdrawal you will need to include the instructor’s form for every class that you were enrolled in for that semester.
Any official documents that can help support why you may have had trouble previously. Ex: Funeral notes, medical records, legal documents, etc.
Please submit your documents here. You can also deliver your forms to the Center for Student Advising and Development Office (located in Porter - Room 140) or you can email your documents directly to Andrew Hovekamp at andrew.hovekamp@louisville.edu.

Frequently asked questions: Late withdrawals
Any student in the college of education that wishes to withdraw completely from a semester past the withdrawal date is eligible for a petition for late withdrawal. The student should have had some extenuating circumstances that led to the inability to withdraw on time or caused low grades in the semester.
Your complete late withdrawal is for the whole semester that you are petitioning for. If you have multiple classes, your petition will be for all of the courses taken that semester.
