LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION

• If you are required to request letters of recommendation please see the information below.
• A letter should not be given to you directly; the recommender needs to submit it to the college/university you are requesting it for.
• The letters of recommendation could be requested through Schoolinks.
• Once you have submitted the request you follow up with the teacher, counselor etc. and provide them with a "Brag Sheet".
• It really helps when you give teachers extra information that they can include in your letter.
