You are not happy with the course you are doing at college and would like to change to a different course.

Model Answer

Dear Mr Cameron,

I am a first-year student at your college and my major is arts. I am writing to seek your permission to change one of my courses. I am hoping that you would allow me to do so.

My student identification number is 254102. During my admission back in January, I took the music course and it has been a month since then. So far I am not happy with my progress and I am confident that I would do better if I take the history curriculum, which I have always felt passionate about. I would not say that I feel negative about my music classes, but I believe I should go with the course I feel more attached to.

When I got admitted to the college, no seat in the history department was available and the music was my second preference. Recently, I talked to the dean of the history department, and he notified me that with your permission, I would be able to intake the history subject.

I would request you to permit me to intake a history course and drop the music class. I would be always grateful to you for granting me to switch my course.

Yours sincerely,

Caterina Holmes
