Submitting letters of recommendation

If your graduate program of study requires letters of recommendation:

  • Enter the contact information of the individuals, who have agreed to be your recommenders, on the online application. Letters of recommendations may only be submitted through the online portal by the recommender. No letters on paper or via pdf file will be accepted. 
  • Confirm with your recommender they have received an email with instructions for submitting their letter of recommendation.
  • Check the status of any letters of recommendation submitted through the online application under Check Status within GradCAS.

Note: if you are changing graduate programs you will have to resubmit new recommendations for the newly selected program. 

All of the following program-specific admission requirements should be submitted through your online application: 

  • Letters of recommendation
  • Writing samples
  • Teacher certification documentation
