How can I change a recommender?

  • If you have not yet submitted your application:
    • On the recommendations page, you can Exclude a recommender who has not started the recommendation process and then re-enter the recommendation request making any needed changes.
  • If you have submitted your application:
    • Visit the Application Status page. Below the Application Checklist, click on the link to re-visit the recommendations page. You can Exclude a recommender who has not submitted their recommendation and then re-enter the recommendation request making any needed changes. Make sure to not navigate away from the page after excluding and before adding the recommender.

Please note the following:

  • You can only have 3 active recommendations in the system.
  • If a recommender has already started the process of providing a recommendation, you cannot remove or edit that recommender.
  • If you already have 3 active recommendations, you must Exclude one of them in order to add a new one.
    • Important: If you have already submitted your application and need to make changes to a recommender, be sure not to navigate away from the page after excluding and before adding the new recommender.
  • If you want to include a fourth recommender, you will need to ask that recommender to contact the degree program directly.
