1- Letter to the professor to exclude grade of an assignment

In order to pass and advance in schools and universities, students need to have grades above a certain percentage. These grades are created by analyzing the student’s projects and presentation marks, class participation activities, assignment marks and the finals. Students can also gain extra points to raise their grades by completing extra assignments. Below is a sample letter:

I am writing this letter to request for exclusion of ‘Assignment Name’ grade from my total grade. This is because when we were given the assignment, I was dealing with health issues and was admitted to the hospital. After I was released I was advised to bed rest and was unable to attend the class, due to which I missed the notes related to the assignment. I was not able to work on the assignment properly and so I received marks which are affecting my average grade for your class.

I would like to request you to exclude ‘Assignment Name’ grade and instead assign an extra assignment for me to make up for the bad grade. I hope you will consider my request.

2- Request letter to the professor to make-up an assignment

Professors assign extra work to their students to help them raise their grades. Whether the student missed an assignment or received a bad grade on an assignment, they can request their professors to allow students to make up for that assignment.

Below is a sample letter:

Dear Professor X,

I am writing this letter as a request to allow me to make up for the ‘Assignment Name’ assignment. Due to some personal reasons, I was unable to attend your class. Therefore, I was unaware of the assignment given to the class. As I missed the assignment, my final grade is being affected by it.

I would like to request you to assign me an extra assignment to make up for the ‘Assignment Name’ assignment and improve my final grade. I hope you will consider my request.

Sincerely,

Student Name,

3- Request letter to the professor to award extra marks in the examination to improve overall grade

If a student is trying to improve their final grade, they can request their professor to award them extra marks, where appropriate, while grading their examination papers.

Below is a sample letter:

Dear Professor X,

I am writing this letter to ask you for a favor. I have requested extra assignments to improve my grade for your class. However, even after the extra assignments, the extra marks awarded do not allow me to improve my grade better. Therefore, I would like to request you to show me some leniency while grading my exam paper. A few extra marks will help me raise my overall grade.

I hope you will consider my request and award me extra marks while grading my exam paper. It will help me change my overall grade and help me pass your class.

Sincerely,

Student Name,
