Letters of Recommendation
Letters of Recommendation
Letters of Recommendation are required for many university applications. Ask your teacher/counselor for a letter of rec at least 3 weeks in advance. The completed LOR's can be sent directly to the counseling office. After you've asked your recommender if they can write a letter for you, fill out the appropriate form and send it to them.
