Credentials/Letters of Recommendation

As a faculty member, your role in writing letters of recommendation for students applying to graduate programs is straightforward. You have four options for delivering your letter to your student’s credentials file:

• send your letter via “snail mail” directly to the university your student is applying to.
• fax your letter directly to the university your student is applying to.
• upload your letter directly to the university’s “Apply Yourself” website, as requested.
• upload your letter directly to the student's Interfolio account.
