Letter of Appeal – Change of Management Pathway

To the University Board,

Do accept my sincere apology for the submission of this Letter of Appeal in such an overdue manner. However, it is my earnest conviction to seek the board’s permission to grant a little latitude for a switch of program pathway.

I am currently undertaking UCD’s Bachelor of Science (Management) undergraduate program through APMI Kaplan School. In context of this appeal, I harbour the keenest intention and with your permission to switch my current program pathway from Management to Finance.

The realism of the economy, investments and finances are topics which I read and discuss avidly with interest. The lack of academic background has however often limited me from switching to the vocation. As a student and a young working professional in the industry, my modest work experience and theoretical knowledge gained from the lessons in school are the cores of my learning. The modules being offered by the finance pathway would therefore be an important opportunity for me to enrich contribute, apply and progressively develop this interest.

During my enrolment in 2006, the BSc programs that were offered in APMI did not incorporate the option of finance pathway. Until recently I discovered that a finance specialisation is presently being offered to the students. I understand that the currently term for the finance pathway have since commenced and I have also been thoroughly advised of the implications. Nonetheless, I am very encouraged to submit this appeal to the board, to seek your liberal permission.

Sincerely,
Lee Sen Jensen
