Dear Professor,
Iām Student name, and here are my data
Student: Name_Lastname Scad ID: 0000000 GPA: 0.00 Major: xxxxx xxxxxx
I am writing to respectfully request a waiver for CLASS NAME NUMBER (ADVE 334) so that I can enroll in CLASS NAME NUMBER (ADVE 341) in QUARTER ( Fall 2016).
Reason for the waiver: [! Be professional and clear in your explanation express in details the reason you need the waiver] Based on the classes offered, there is only one GRDS class I am able to take in Fall. In order to stay on schedule with my graduation plan, I must enroll in at least two elective courses next quarter. Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to sign up for classes within other majors to expand my knowledge in all areas of digital communication. I believe that CLASS NAME NUMBER will be an invaluable asset to my education because it will provide the opportunity to develop stronger concepting and management skills on top of practicing graphic design.
Show why you are going to be successful: [! report your previous classes, Knowledge and expertise that make you suitable for the class you are requesting. Prove by listing and elaborating on your previous courses] While the prerequisite for Branding is Art Direction II, I believe I possess the necessary skills from my graphic design courses to do well in this course. By Fall, I would have taken Intro to Graphic Design, Graphic Design Studio I, Typography I, Typography II, Rasters and Vectors, Production Design, and Intro to Advertising. Additionally, I currently hold a 3.9 GPA, which I believe reflects my work ethic and my dedication to my studies.
Thank you for your time.
