Private college and universities will often request letters of
recommendation from teachers and/or Secondary School Report forms from
high school counselors. It is the student's responsibility to organize
these requests and get them to counselors and teachers in a timely
manner.
Bring college paperwork to the Counseling Center for the counselor at least 2-3weeks before the college deadline. Also attach the Counseling Center form "Letter of Recommendation Form" completely
filled out. Counselors have numerous recommendations to write during
the fall season, so allow plenty of time for the counselor and registrar
to complete the form. Letters of recommendation should be completed
PRIOR to December 1st -with requests made two weeks prior.
If
colleges request letters of recommendation from teachers, print the
form, attach a stamped addressed envelope for each letter needed and
give to the teacher at least 2 weeks before the deadline. For the
teacher's use, the student should give or email a copy of the green
"Letter of Recommendation Form" as well. Teachers also write letters
for multiple students, so please be considerate of their time.
