Pre-Petition Information Sessions
Academic Dismissal Petition Process
Northwest Vista College is always seeking ways to improve the Academic Dismissal Petition Process for our students. As of Spring 2017, we require students petition to return from Academic Dismissal to attend a Pre-Petition Information Session.
During this session, we will discuss the following items:
- How to complete the Petition for Waiver of Dismissal packet
- How to submit the packet
- What to expect in the Dismissal Interview
Pre-Petition Information Sessions
These sessions are designed to help the students understand the requirements of the dismissal petition and what to expect while in the Dismissal Interview. If the student has a packet with them, the packet will be reviewed to ensure that all requirements have been met, and will be able to have an interview scheduled at that time. If students do not have a packet, or the packet is incomplete, they will be able to discuss the packet requirements and be able to submit the packet by e-mail to the Academic Standards team after attending a session.
We are offering several sessions to be able to accommodate as many students as possible. All petitioning students must attend a session before a dismissal interview will be scheduled. To reserve a seat for any of the following sessions, please RSVP on Org Sync.

Petition Dates
Attention Students: We are no longer accepting petitions for the fall semester at this time. The priority deadline to submit was August 6th, 2018. We encourage you to check back in November for information about the Spring petitioning semester.
Note: All petition packets must be submitted by email at nvc-ast@alamo.edu by the deadline. Please read all information regarding submission of your packet carefully. Dismissal Interviews are limited - once all sessions and SDEV 0171 course offerings are full, petitions will no longer be accepted - regardless of the deadline date.
