There are a few options for adding notes when submitting an exception request.

1. A justification field is required as part of the exception request. It provides space for advisors to add a description of their request. The justification text should be brief and is used to describe the exception.
2. Internal notes are optional, and provide space for the advisor to provide additional context for the workflow approvers.
3. Supporting docs are optional*, and allow the advisor to attach documents that might be helpful for the review process. This might include a related email chain or other documentation that support the exception request.

*Note: Substitution requests for Mason Core requirements must submit a course syllabus (for the substituted course) in the supporting docs section. The syllabus for these exception requests (specifically, substitutions for Mason Core) are required and not optional.
