if you are planning to transfer
after this semester. If you are planning to graduate next semester, then your date would
be in May 2010. On the other hand, the year could be 2011 or later, depending on when you expect to transfer to the
other college.
Please try to use the College Navigator or CollegeTransfer.net website to locate a good college to transfer to, or you can use a college that you already know you would like to attend. (Don't forget that you are not actually applying to transfer -- this
is a writing assignment!)If you are unsuccessful in finding a college to transfer to, please let your professor
know.
Before you begin writing the
cover letter, read pages 81-89 in your textbook for guidelines on writing business letters and and 151-158 for guidelines
on writing cover letters.
Also, print out a copy of the
requirements for your major here at NCC. You can find these requirements by going to the Programs and Majors webpage on the college website. You will then be able to include details in the letter about the courses you will have taken
in your major.
Your letter should be at least
four paragraphs in length, although two of them (the introductory and concluding paragraphs) can be relatively short.
Here are some basic guidelines
for you to consider as you write your rough draft of the letter: Cover Letter Basic Guidelines
Follow the full-block letter
format on page 84. Use Microsoft Word for this assignment, and submit a rough
