Students requesting a letter of recommendation should always include the following information:
To whom should the letter be addressed?
Where should the letter be sent?
What is the deadline that the letter has to be received?
Please see below for how to request different types of recommendations or verifications:
Letter from Instructor
When reaching out to an instructor to request a letter of recommendation, in addition to the general points above, students should specify the purpose of the recommendation letter and attach: at least one of the completed assignments from that instructor’s class and a copy of a current resume.
The student should also include the class(es) and term(s) they had with the instructor and refer to the attached assignment(s) to re-familiarize them with the student’s work and writing style.
It is the instructor’s choice whether or not to provide a letter of recommendation.
Letter from Dean's Office
Email sondeanapprovals@purdueglobal.edu to request a general letter or to have a reference completed which can confirm status as a current or former student in good standing from the Assistant Dean of Students.
Please note that letters from the Dean's Office cannot identify personal characteristics or skills learned in the classroom.
Program Education Verification
Email sondeanapprovals@purdueglobal.edu to have any necessary education verification forms, post-graduation references, employment credentialing, or other certification needs completed by the Dean or Program Director. Students should ensure that they complete any applicant components before submitting a request to the Dean’s Office.
Forms will not be processed until your account shows you are in Graduate status. You may check your status on your Degree Plan through your student portal.
