Inter University Transfer letter is basically a notice that informs or notifies your current school about your intentions to transfer to a different school.

In Nigeria, we observed that many students relocates from one higher institution to the other because of certain situations, some of which include: social circumstances, weather condition, security reasons, family responsibilities or something relating to finance.

 

This time, however, we will take you by the hand and show you some of the tips to writing a good Inter University Transfer letter request.

At a point, during your inter university transfer process, you may be asked to address a letter to your university’s Dean of faculty or Head of department requesting for transfer. And we believe you would want to make sure that this letter is properly written and well articulated.

So, here below are some tips you need to consider in the build up of your letter.

Introduction

In the first paragraph of the letter, you should introduce yourself and emphasize that you need a transfer. Give a brief details of your present academic status or circumstances, which should include your CGPA (cumulative grade point average).

Please note that to be eligible for inter university transfer, you must acquire a minimum of Second Class Lower (2.2) to be consider for transfer.

Highlight Your Achievements

You should briefly state an account of your academic achievements during the period of your stay in the University. Include any awards or honors you may have recieved over the course of your programme.

State The Reasons For Your Transfer

Highlight some of the reasons why you want to transfer, whether it’s due to family circumstances, security or finance.

Express Your Gratitudes To The Recipient Of The Letter

Lastly, express your sincere gratitude to the Dean of faculty or Head of Department and include your current contact information.

DATE
RE: Application For Inter University Transfer Certificate

 

 

Dear Sir,

I am Miss Cassandra Eze currently student of this institution (Ahmadu Bello University). I am a 300 Level student of Mass communication.

With all due respect sir, I am writing to inform you that I am unable to continue with my present courses at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. Recently, due to inadequate finance to fund my education, i will not be able to continue with my studies here, even though I’m currently maintaining a 3.50 GPA in Mass communication.

Unfortunately, as i am finding it difficult to cope with my studies, I believe it’s in my own best interest to continue with my programme in my State’s University where i can easily have access to funds.

As a result, I am respectfully asking you to issue me a formal transfer certificate as soon as possible. I already have admission into Abia State University where I will need to submit my documents as well as the transfer certificate.

Thank you for all your help.

Yours Sincerely,

(sign your name here)

Cassandra Eze
