A Request Letter to the Principal for Online Exam is a formal letter written by a student or parent to the school principal, requesting permission to take an examination online instead of in person. This letter is typically used when a student is unable to attend the exam in person due to valid reasons, such as health issues, travel constraints, personal emergencies, or residing in a distant location. The school management needs to make special arrangements if the request is accepted. The following letters are samples for this situation.

Re. Request for Online Examination Concerning Public Health and Safety
Dear Principal,
I am writing to bring to your attention the matter of conducting exams for our primary students in Grades III to VII. However, the issue has already been addressed in various meetings, emails, and group discussions; I believe that conducting exams online is the only viable solution to the problems concerning the health of our students.
Our school is one of the most prestigious and leading institutions in the city, and is recognized for its strong priorities. One of our top priorities is the physical and mental health of our students, and that is what we are most renowned for. I believe that we ought to fulfill our promise of always prioritizing students’ health and safety.
According to the National Health Service, a suspected outbreak of diarrhea is occurring in the country, with significant repercussions if safety measures are not taken. Moreover, such cases are more serious and can be spread by big gatherings, as it is suspected that a virus causes the outbreak. This virus is considered contagious, as our school has seen three cases of acute diarrhea in the past two days, which prompts us to take safety measures.
Therefore, I request that you approve the proposal for an online exam. I understand that there may be concerns about the viability and validity of online exams. Still, this matter can be addressed by seeking help from IT professionals who can assist in personalizing such software to ensure the reliability, validity, and security of the exams.
I would be grateful if you could consider the suggestion and approve the online exams. If you have any further questions, I would be glad to meet and discuss them further. Thank you for reviewing my request.
