    Requesting Letters of Recommendations

    Instructions: In order to prepare an appropriate letter of recommendation, faculty members need to have several important pieces of information from you (e.g., about the program/position for which you're applying, your grades, your strengths, previous experience, etc.).

    Students seeking letters of ALL kinds (including letters for graduate school, on- or off-campus jobs, internships, study abroad programs, and honor societies) are strongly encouraged to provide faculty referees with this information.

    After you have discussed the possibility of a faculty member serving as a reference, use one of the two options below to provide them with the requested information. Doing so will increase the likelihood of getting a more informed, more in-depth reference.


      Online Form
      Use this option if you want to fill out your request online and have it automatically submitted over email to one or more professors. This will take approximately 10 minutes, and you will be able to get a printout containing a summary of your responses.

      Printed Form

      Use this option if you want to print a copy of the information required to make a request rather than fill it out online. You can use your own computer's word processing program to compile and save the information, and then you can print it and give it to your professors personally.
