Yes, we strongly encourage applicants to submit an online application and utilize the online recommendation system. In the letters of recommendation section of the online application, you may indicate whether or not you wish each recommender to use the online recommendation system. If you indicate "yes" to use the online recommendation system and click on "submit request to recommender", an email will be sent to the recommender with information and a link that will allow them to submit an online recommendation. You can track the status of your recommendation requests by viewing your application account activity.
Letters of recommendation may also be submitted:
Through the mail (be sure the letter is in a sealed envelope with the signature of the recommender over the seal)
Via email to msw.recommendations@umich.edu
Official recommendations must be sent directly to us by the recommender.
