Christopher Jones:
Letters of Recommendations -- Policies

1. If you want a letter of recommendation, you should contact Professor Jones first for EACH letter (e-mail is OK). You should put all materials connected with the recommendation in paper copy (NOT by attachment) NO LESS THAN FOUR WEEKS before the date on which the letter is due (or THREE WEEKS before the 'post-by' date). At the same time as giving Prof. Jones the recommendation materials, it is advisable to give him details concerning the course(s) you have taken with him and a sample of written work in the relevant course(s).

2. If you expect to need several letters of the same kind, e.g. when applying to several different positions simultaneously, then use the forms provided by the Office of Career Services and ensure that the OCS sends out your materials.
