Requesting a Letter of Recommendation

First: Find out if letters of recommendation are actually required for your college or place of employment.

Second: Ask the person you would like to write a letter of recommendation at least 2 weeks before the deadline.

• Make sure to provide them with the following information:
• What the letter is for--name of college(s) or scholarship(s) or employment.
• Application Deadline
• How it should be submitted--by the student? to a portal? through the mail? If mail, provide a stamped envelope.
• Complete the Letter of Recommendation Formpdf document, save the form, and either print it out and bring it to your counselor or email them with this as an attachment. 
• A copy of your academic resume, and transcript.
