Home Students Alumni Grad Student Info Grad School Resource Letters of recommendation are often required when you apply for employment or admission to graduate school. By creating a letter of recommendation file, you assure that your letters will be available in a central location for future use. Currently, students and alumni of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Art, School of Architecture, University College, Central Institute for the Deaf, and the Occupational and Physical Therapy Programs may maintain a file of letters of recommendation with the Career Center.
Many graduates wait a year or two before applying for advanced education.
Policy and Procedure To set up a credential file with the Career Center, you need to fill out a registration form and sign a Consent to Disclose Information form. You will be given blank recommendation forms for distribution to those from whom you plan to request references. Type in all information requested at the top of these forms. Each recommendation form contains a waiver of access. You must sign your name to designate whether you retain or waive your right of access to each letter.
