Submitting Your Materials
 

You may either have your references send hard copies of letters to our program, or you can have them submit letters through the online application. Please note, we will not be able to confirm receipt of physical letters nearly as quickly as the Graduate Admissions Center can confirm receipt of online letter submissions.

To submit references online, do the following while filling out your online application: when you complete the "References" portion of the online application for admission, you will give the names and email addresses of those you have asked to recommend you. Be sure that the email address is current and accurate.

You will be asked to inform us if you are going to waive the right to view your letters after they are submitted. Please indicate this by answering the associated question on the application for admission.

We will send an e-mail message to the address you provide and ask your recommender to visit a web site where they can complete a questionnaire. Your recommender will be informed if you have not waived your right to view his/her letter of recommendation.

If you make a mistake on the email address or if you need to replace one recommender with another please contact  Marla Boye at marla.boye@austin.utexas.edu.

Make sure each letter uses your full name (or the name under which you are applying) and, if you have a common name, especially, your UTEID (an ID code that is supplied once you have completed the online application).
