style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"'>Effective, Tuesday,
August 31, 2010 requests to add students to an undergraduate engineering course
for the fall 2010 semester will require a General Petition form. This
form should be signed by the instructor, indicating that the student has been
attending classes, and that the instructor approves the addition. Also,
the General Petition must be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies
or the department chair, or both. Generally, it is expected that such
additions will be for missing required lab courses or changes of section which
are appropriate for the interests of the department and college. As a
general rule, additions of students who are not already enrolled in UH courses
will not be approved. In general, students should get enrolled in their
courses during the first week of classes, and should attend all classes during
the first week.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Reporting Date (ORD), which in Fall 2010 is September 8, we will not entertain
any requests to add student to an undergraduate engineering course for the Fall
2010 semester without a detailed written recommendation from the department
chair. These requests should be extremely rare, and the recommendation
should be very compelling. Typically, they should only be the result of
significant errors on the part of the faculty or staff, and not the result of
oversights or mistakes by the student involved. All such request must be
submitted on General Petition forms.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
