Sample Emails to Professors

(for POD, independent study, etc.)

 

To Professor Jones for POD: 

Professor Jones,  

My advisor, Prof. Brody, has advised me to sign up for Techniques in Tomb Robbing with you, and I need permission of department. May I take your course? If so, here’s the information for you to send to Dina: Marion Ravenwood, 811111111, ANTQ 5888, CRN 12345.  

Thank you,  

Marion Ravenwood 

 

To Professor Venkman for Time Conflict Override: 

 Dr. Venkman, 

I would like to take your course in Practical Applications of Parapsychology (PARA 8888), which I understand takes place primarily after midnight in haunted locations around town. However, it has a listed time in the class schedule as conflicting with Dr. Spengler’s Quantum Theory and Paranormal Fungi course. Is it possible to get a time conflict override? If so, here’s the information for you to send to Dina: Dana Barrett, 811111111, PARA 6666, CRN 13130.  

Thank you, 

Dana “Zuul” Barrett 

 

To Professor Mace Wendu for individualized class:  



Professor Wendu,  

 My major professor, Prof. Jinn, has recommended that I do an independent study in Jedi Mind Tricks with you in preparation for my master’s thesis. Would you be willing to work on this with me? If so, here is the information to send to Steven: My ID# is 812222222, and Prof. Wendu says the course would be JEDI 7999.  

Thank you,  

Obi Wan Kenobi
