Signature for A Form or Petition

I need to get a form (or petition) signed by my CCJS faculty advisor, but she is not available.  Can another CCJS faculty advisor or a department staff sign it?

Your form or petition must be signed by your assigned CCJS faculty advisor.  Your assigned CCJS faculty advisor is most familiar with your progress in the program and is, therefore, in the best position to approve or disapprove your form or petition.  We encourage you to meet with your assigned CCJS faculty advisor at least a week before the deadline for submitting the form or petition. 

On occasions when your assigned CCJS faculty advisor is not available, the department chair can sign the form or petition. However, a department staff cannot sign in place of your assigned CCJS faculty advisor.
