Recommendation Letter Requests

Requesting a Recommendation Letter (Undergraduates)

I am generally willing to write recommendation letters for law school or graduate school for students who earned an A in my course(s) and/or who served as a research assistant on my research projects.

1) Please first send me a request to ensure I agree to write the letter. (jlane@ufl.edu)

2) If so, I will need the following documentation from you to help write the letter (at least two weeks before the letter is due):

  • The type of recommendation you are requesting
  • Contact information and due date for submitting the letter
  • Resume/curriculum vitae
  • Personal statement you are planning to include in your application
  • An unofficial copy of your transcript
  • A FERPA release form
  • Any other information about you that will help me write the letter (your background and/or experiences, career goals, etc.)
