Requesting Recommendations Please, do your research. Only request recommendations if you need them .

Teacher Recommendations 1. Submit your application to college. 2. Determine how many letters college will accept - check Naviance and application for min/max needed. 3. Ask teachers via email or over Teams first and then Request via Naviance (see College Application Quick Guide for procedures). Complete any required surveys (slide #4). 4. Do NOT request through Common App or school specific applications. 5. Some programs require specific forms or procedures (Honors Programs/Military Academies). 6. Allow teachers 15 (or more!) school days to submit your letter. 7. Follow-up with your teacher – we suggest that you give them a thank you note and update them about acceptances.

Counselor Recommendation 1. Determine if the college you are applying to needs a counselor rec. Records can be processed more quickly when recommendations are not needed. 2. Counselor SURVEY in Naviance must be completed (in About Me tab) PRIOR to request. If not completed, your request will be deleted. 3. If a counselor rec is needed, it should be requested after the application is submitted. We strongly encourage students request their recommendation immediately after adding a college to the “colleges I’m applying to” list in Naviance. 4. Request must be made in Naviance under colleges tab. 5. Allow 15 school days for records/recommendation to go out.
