Course Petitioning: SEFS Major Requirements

Course Petition Form

Undergraduate Course Substitution Petition Portal. Here you will find the Petition Form and a place to submit the Form and all necessary supporting materials. You may petition any course requirement in the major, subject to the limits and restrictions listed on the Petition Form. Petition evaluation is the responsibility of the SEFS Faculty; petition acceptance is not guaranteed. Petitions should be submitted as early as possible.

Course Access via Entry Codes: SEFS Courses

SEFS Registration Request Form

If an ESRM or SBSE or SEFS course requires an entry code to register (such as during week 2 of the quarter), you can request to be registered/receive an entry code via our Registration Request form.  Note: for full courses/lab sections/QZ sections, if any seats become available, you need to be signed up to be notified of open spots via notify.uw rather than using this form.
