• Click File Petition.
• Click File Complaint (for an individual student).
• A petition filing window appears. It contains three tabs:
  • Student Details
  • File Folder
  • History

• In the Student Details tab.
  • In the New Referral drop-down, select the appropriate Attendance Officer.
  • In the Response drop-down, select the semester covered by the petition.
  • At the bottom of the screen, check Send request to Attendance Officer (AO).
  • Three options are presented. Press the button that represents your intended action.
    • Case Dismissal Request: immediately cancel the recommended petition. You will be prompted to provide a reason for the dismissal.
