Letters of Recommendation
If you are applying to college, a summer program, or scholarship, you may be asked to provide one or more Letters of Recommendation. There are a few things to consider before asking for a Letter of Recommendation:
- For college applications, please check each college admissions website to verify that a Letter of Recommendation is required or recommended, how many, who should write the letter, and the deadline
- California State Universities (CSUs) and University of California (UCs) DO NOT require a Letter of Recommendation (If a supplemental application is required for your intended major at one of these universities, you may be asked for a Letter of Recommendation
If you do need a Letter of Recommendation, consider the following process:
- Ask your teacher and/or counselor personally if they are able to write you a Letter of Recommendation
- Keep in mind that you should ask them at least two weeks in advance, if not earlier, as they receive many requests throughout the school year
- Complete the Personal Data Form in Naviance (Located in the About Me tab) and/or the Counselor Recommendation Form (email your counselor for a link to their Google form) at least two weeks in advance. In some cases, you may provide a resume.
- If the letter is for college admissions, submit a Letter of Recommendation request for your teacher and/or counselor in Naviance (Located in the Colleges tab)
- Letters of Recommendation for college admissions will be submitted through Naviance. You must sign the FERPA waiver in Naviance before a teacher and/or counselor can upload their Letter of Recommendation!
