Letter of Recommendation
This packet must be completed and you must meet with your counselor at least 2 weeks prior to the due date for the recommendation letter to be sent. Since counselors do not see you daily they need information about you from a variety of sources. The quality and depth of the letter depends on the information you provide.
Steps you will need to take in order to secure a letter of recommendation from your counselor.
1. Obtain a letter of recommendation packet from the Counseling Center or the online site.
This packet includes:
2. Complete and/or distribute each piece of the packet. See each form for instructions.
3. Schedule a 30 minute appointment with your counselor for a date 2 weeks before the letter is
to be sent. Be prepared to talk about the forms, the college where the letter is to be sent and
due date.
REMEMBER:
ALL FORMS ARE NEEDED 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE DUE DATE!
