*Students wishing to petition a technical elective course must reach out to their advisor before the course begins*

Students wishing to seek an exception to the requirements for their major course of study are required to prepare and submit a petition for review and possible approval. Exceptions include taking courses at other universities for the purpose of substitution for required MME courses. Students are encouraged to obtain approval for substitution of transfer courses prior to enrolling in the course to be transferred. Visit  to verify if courses will transfer.

Students are responsible for initiating petitions. Petitions should be prepared in consultation with the academic advisor. Petition forms are available in the department office. They must be properly completed, have all supporting materials attached, and be signed by the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ’s advisor. Petitions are submitted to the department administrative assistant. The administrative assistant logs the petition and then passes it on to the Petition Committee chair. The Petition Committee meets in a timely fashion and rules on each petition received. The ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ and faculty are notified of decisions in writing by email. Questions should be directed to the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ’s advisor, the petition committee chair, or the department chair.

All courses that are used to fulfill requirements of the major must be taken for a letter grade, including those in CHM, PHY, MTH, STA, ECE, ENG, and ECO. Courses that may be taken credit/no-credit (C/NC) are Miami Plan electives. For example, the Miami Plan Foundation IIB-Humanities course may be taken C/NC since there is a list to choose from and no specific course is required for any MME major. However, the Miami Plan Foundation IIC-Social Science course is specified to be ECO 201 for all MME majors and must be taken for a letter grade. To receive credit for a C/NC course, you must receive a D- or better. Courses taken on a C/NC basis are not included in your GPA. Miami policy stipulates that no more than 10% of your coursework can be taken C/NC. You must declare your intention to take the course credit/no-credit before 20% of the class meetings have occurred. Visit the OneStop for more information.

Students should be knowledgeable concerning the rules, definitions, and procedures governing academic integrity/academic dishonesty. See ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ Student Handbook section 1.5 for information regarding Miami’s Academic Integrity policy and procedure.
