Info on Student Petition for Max Time Frame?

In the realm of college education, please explain how or what is expected on a Student Petition for Max Time Frame. It relates to attempted hours one has in college, of course, However, what is needed in writing, to ensure college officials that one is not a "professional student" and only enrolled for financial gain due to laziness or other asinine reasons. Petitions are to be submitted to the Financial Offfice in order to complete financial aid file. Thanks for your professional response.

Update:

To "unknown" , I do not need to explain something that did not occur. Please let us not be so assumptive with our responses. There was no "tent" or "camping out" as you suggest with your comments. I merely requested information relevant to the petition. This does not mean that one should be rude or make unnecessary assumptions as you seem to be doing. Have a blessed day and in all your endeavors, be well.

    You need to explain why you have been a "tent" and camped out at college for more than 150% of the hours required to get a degree. That is PLENTY of time to earn a degree.

    Example (bachelors degree only requires 120 hours, they cut you off after 180) Another example: Associated degree requires 60 hours and they cut you off after 90, again :TONS of time to earn your degree. Also blaming it on someone else (bad academic advising) will not get your petition granted.

    Perhaps show them your brain scan of the tumor you developed and had to RE-LEARN everything after diagnosed and after taking 60 hours..... because that is about what it is going to take to get a approved if you don't come up with something legit and with documents to prove it.
