How do I submit a recommendation?
My invitation letter status has not changed. Help!
For an illustrated (longer) version of these instructions, please download Submitting a Recommendation (pdf) attached below.
When you login as a recommender*, click on the "My forms" link.
On this page, you will see a list of all applicants who have invited you to write a sponsor's letter or a reference on their behalf.
Please click on the applicant's name to view the form you need to complete to submit the recommendation for your applicant. You may save your recommendation and come back later to complete it. To confirm (equivalent of a signature) your recommendation for final submission, first click the checkbox at the bottom of the page that says "Check to confirm the statement/reference is ready for final submission.". A red confirmation message will appear
at the top of the recommendation form when you now click the "Submit" button.
At the same time a new checkbox will appear underneath the old one that says "Yes, this statement is ready for final submission.". Click this checkbox and click the "Submit" button to send the recommendation to us!
In the event that you received a request from more than one applicant and these applicants are not listed on your page, you can use the special form provided at the bottom of the page to bring up their recommendation form. Copy and paste the invitation code in the email you received from the applicant and submit this form. The applicant should now be listed under the proper category.
*If you do not see anything besides your name (or you see what looks like an applicant form), click the edit tab and make sure to select the sponsor or referee account type, and click the "Refresh" button to reset your account.
