Request Letter for Provisional Certificate

Letters Kate

A request letter for a provisional certificate is an academic letter written by a student to the principal, head of the department, or any other authorized person. In this letter, the student requests that the authorities issue him a provisional certificate so that he can proceed with further studies at another institute until the original degree is awarded.

The provisional certificate certifies that the holder has completed the said degree and has been graduated.

A general provisional certificate shows two things;

  1. One is a detailed mark sheet of the student, which shows that the student has graduated and acquired the certification from the specific school/college/university.
  2. The second is the clearance of all the dues or penalties.

The provisional certificate is to be utilized until the issuance of the original degree, which is, in most institutions, issued later after the degree is completed.

The aim of providing a temporary provisional certificate is to ensure that students can pursue higher studies or search for and apply for a job. Its sole purpose is to substitute the original degree and facilitate the students’ overcoming all the obstacles to getting higher education or a job.

A provisional certificate is usually temporary and valid for three to six months. After the issuance of the original degree, a provisional certificate does not remain valuable. The provisional certificate also helps institutions keep a record of students who have graduated.

Following is a sample of a request letter for a provisional certificate.

Re. Request for Provisional Certificate

Dear Sir/Madam,

It is submitted to your reverend attention that I am a student in the department of filming and advertising, doing a master’s in the 20XX-XX registration number [X]. I have been declared passed, and there are no dues or penalties credited to my name. Now, I want to go abroad to pursue higher studies. To get admission to any other college or university, I have to show proof of my preceding degree. No college or university allows admission without the last degree certificate.

Sir/Madam, I want to be admitted to the spring session of 20XX, for which I must apply for admission as soon as possible. By the end of this month, all admission dates will be due. Keeping in view my situation, I request that you approve the issuance of my provisional certificate of the degree so that I can get admission without any obstruction or time lag. All the attested copies of the required documents have been enclosed with the letter. I shall be grateful to you for this. Thank you in anticipation.

Sincerely

(Signature)
