Petition to Graduate
How do I Petition to Graduate with a major or minor in Black Studies?
Approximately one calendar year before your intended graduation date. Please follow the instructions below to petition to graduate.
- Complete the Black Studies Major Worksheet or Minor Worksheet, as appropriate. This tells the registrar’s office where you’d like your courses directed in CAESAR.
- The Graduation Petition Procedure and to fill out the online petition to graduate (via Frevvo) – directions for doing so, including a short video demonstration, are at the Registrar’s website.
- Upload your completed major or minor worksheet to the Black Studies portion of your graduation petition.
- Once you see that your petition is ready for approval from Black Studies, you’ll need to meet with the Director of Undergraduate Studies to confirm everything and answer any questions you may have –so if you haven’t already, please do the following:
- Email the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Professor Barnor Hesse at hb-hesse@northwestern.edu to set up a meeting.
- Make sure you’ve attached the major/minor worksheet, that details how you’d like credits to be assigned in CAESAR, to your petition in Frevvo. If it’s not attached already, please email Professor Barnor Hesse at hb-hesse@northwestern.edu before the meeting (so Prof. Hesse can review it ahead of time and attach it in Frevvo).
