If you are applying online, your recommendations from the two academic referees are to be submitted via the online admission system. You should check with your referees and obtain their institutional e-mail address. E-mail addresses from domains other than ".edu" may be subject to additional screening and filtering. After your online application is submitted, an automated e-mail will be sent to your referees inviting them to complete their recommendations online. Your referee reports will be sent to us directly via the online application system so there is no need for you to send separate recommendations to us.
Referees will be given 14 days to submit his / her referee report after receiving the email notification. You are advised to remind your referees to submit their reports when the deadline is nearing and the report status remains as “pending submission”.
Only if your referees are unable to access the online system should you ask them to complete the paper-based report. The referees' report must be forwarded to you in sealed envelopes with the flap of each envelope bearing the signature of the respective referees. These envelopes must be forwarded, unopened, to the respective department with the other application materials.
