 Letters of recommendation can be stored in your student file for future use at your request. You can ask for letters of recommendation from professors, teaching fellows, a supervisor or mentor at any time. We encourage you to ask before your potential recommenders forget  
details that could make your letters more effective.

 Once in your file, the [Academic Coordinator](/academic-coordinator) can distribute individual letters as part of an application or send them back to their respective writers for editing upon request. The Pre-Med, Pre-Law, and Fellowships Tutor teams also use letters stored in your file to write composite dean's letters.

##  Placing Letters of Recommendation on File

 To place a letter of recommendation on file, fill out the top section of the waiver below and  
give it to your recommender. Your recommender will fill out the rest of the form and return  
it with your completed letter. A completed waiver must accompany all letters to be stored in  
your file. Letters without waivers will not be distributed.
