Committee on Academic Standing

The Committee on Academic Standing (CAS) meets bi-weekly during the academic year to consider General Petitions submitted by students for exceptions to certain deadlines (i.e. add/drop and Credit/No Credit) and academic policies and regulations. 

The Committee is currently comprised of 3 non-voting members and 3 voting members.  The non-voting members are:   The Chair (Associate Dean of Students for Academics), the Vice President and Dean of Students, and the Associate Dean of Students for Student Support Services.   The voting members of the Committee are 3 faculty members who each serve a 3-year term. 

A student who wishes to submit a petition to the Committee on Academic Standing for review must complete a General Petition Form and provide a formal statement indicating the regulation they would like an exception to and the reason(s) for the request.  The completed petition should be submitted via email to adosacademics@hamilton.edu.    At the next scheduled CAS meeting, the Chair will present the petitions received to the Committee for review and discussion.  Once the 3 voting members have reached a decision, the decision will be noted in the minutes.  The student will later be notified of the decision via email from the Associate Dean of Students for Academics.

For any questions, please contact the Office of the Associate Dean of Students for Academics at adosacademics@hamilton.edu or (315) 859-4600.
